GetSellerList

Use this call to retrieve items listed by the authenticated user, including item data.

GetSellerList returns an array of zero or more items, depending on the user's activity and the inputs used in the call. Input fields can increase or filter the data returned. See Browsing a Seller's Items for a detailed description of retrieving items using GetSellerList.

Usage Details

In all calls, at least one date-range filter must be specified.

You can specify a DetailLevel to control the response data.
If you set a DetailLevel, you must set pagination values.

GetSellerList returns a maximum of 5,000 items per call (this is possible if you do not specify a Detail Level, and thus return the smallest set of data for each item). However, if you specify any DetailLevel value (and thus increase the fields returned for each item), you might need to use Pagination values to obtain the complete result set. If you use a DetailLevel, the response can contain no more than 200 items per call.

Many item details (such as item descriptions and listing enhancements) don't change often, and getting these
values adds to the overhead of your calls. After you initially download the details for a set of items, subsequent requests for those items should retrieve only the item information that is likely to change. It is best to avoid using a DetailLevel of ReturnAll or a GranularityLevel of Fine with GetSellerList. Or consider using GetSellerEvents instead of GetSellerList.

If you need to use ReturnAll to retrieve all the item details,
use a smaller EntriesPerPage value to limit the number of items returned from the call.
To improve performance, specify a shorter time range with EndTimeFrom and EndTimeTo.

Use Pagination to control the pages of data returned. The Pagination.EntriesPerPage field controls how many items are returned per call, and Pagination.PageNumber specifies which page of data to retrieve in the current call. The value specified for EntriesPerPage must be between 1 and 200.

You can use multiple date-range filters in the same call.
For example, you can use StartTimeFrom and StartTimeTo if you want the response to contain listings that started between the two times. Use EndTimeFrom and EndTimeTo to return listings ending between the two times.

Working with the Response

GetSellerList returns a list of the sellers items in an ItemArray container.

The response data contains ItemType objects, within the ItemArray.

Each ItemType object contains the data for a listing.

Store the item data needed by your application.

In the output, the ReturnedItemCountActual property indicates how many items were returned by the call; Count indicates how many items could be returned. HasMoreItems, if true, indicates that there are more items to be returned, requiring one or more additional calls. PageNumber indicates the page of data returned and ItemsPerPage indicates the number of items returned per call.

Testing GetSellerList

You can test this call in the Sandbox environment after you use AddItem to add at least two
items.

Some values are only returned if the call requestor is the seller of the item. To test the call from the perspective of another user, call GetSellerList with a user other than the one who listed the item.

For applications that list different types of items (such as Chinese auctions and fixed-price items), create all possible types of listings using AddItem, then attempt to retrieve the data with
GetSellerList.

If applicable to the application's use cases, list test items with flat and calculated shipping rates.
Then retrieve the items with GetSellerList.

For applications that create competitive-bid item listings (Chinese auctions), bid on the items using the Sandbox user interface before retrieving the item using GetSellerList. This will populate the high bidder data for items in the result set.

Test calls to GetSellerList with different combinations of detail level, pagination, and date-based filtering to cover all of the possible scenarios the application might have to accommodate under real world conditions.

Input

The box below lists all fields that could be included in the call request. To learn more about an individual field or its type, click its name in the box (or scroll down to find it in the table below the box).

See also the Deprecated Objects link above. Fields presented
in this color are deprecated, and fields presented in this color are (or soon will be) non-operational.

Specifies the earliest (oldest) date to use in a date range filter based on item end time. Specify either an end-time range or a start-time range filter in every call request. Each of the time ranges must be a value less than 120 days.

Specifies the subset of item and user fields to return. See GetSellerList for a list of the fields that are returned for each granularity level. For GetSellerList, use DetailLevel or GranularityLevel in a request, but not both. For GetSellerList, if GranularityLevel is specified, DetailLevel is ignored.

Applicable values:

Coarse

(in) For each record in the response, retrieves less data than Medium. See the eBay Features Guide for a list of the output fields that are returned when this level is specified.

CustomCode

(in)

Fine

(in) For each record in the response, retrieves more data than Medium. See the eBay Features Guide for a list of the output fields that are returned when this level is specified.

Medium

(in) For each record in the response, retrieves more data than Coarse and less data than Fine. See the eBay Features Guide for a list of the output fields that are returned when this level is specified.

If true, the Variations node is returned for all multi-variation listings in the response.

Note: If the seller includes a large number of variations in many listings, using this flag may degrade the call's performance. Therefore, when you use this flag, you may need to reduce the total number of items you're requesting at once.

For example, you may need to use shorter time ranges in the EndTime or StartTime filters, fewer entries per page in Pagination, and/or SKUArray.

Contains the data controlling the pagination of the returned values. If you set a DetailLevel in this call, you must set pagination values. The Pagination field contains the number of items to be returned per page of data (per call), and the page number to return with the current call.

This integer value is used to specify the maximum number of entries to return in a single "page" of data. This value, along with the number of entries that match the input criteria, will determine the total pages (see PaginationResult.TotalNumberOfPages) in the result set.

The maximum and default values are not the same for all calls. For most Trading API calls, the maximum value is 200 and the default value is 25 entries per page.

Specifies the number of the page of data to return in the current call. Default is 1 for most calls. For some calls, the default is 0. Specify a positive value equal to or lower than the number of pages available (which you determine by examining the results of your initial request). See the documentation for the individual calls to determine the correct default value.

Container for a set of SKUs. Filters (reduces) the response to only include active listings that the seller listed with any of the specified SKUs. If multiple listings include the same SKU, they are all returned (assuming they also match the other criteria in the GetSellerList request).

SKUArray can be used to retrieve items listed by the user identified in AuthToken or in UserID.

Note: Listings with matching SKUs are returned regardless of their Item.InventoryTrackingMethod settings.

A SKU (stock keeping unit) is an identifier defined by a seller. Some sellers use SKUs to track complex flows of products and information on the client side. A seller can specify a SKU when listing an item with AddItem and related calls. eBay preserves the SKU on the item, enabling you to obtain it before and after an order line item is created. (SKU is recommended as an alternative to ApplicationData.)

A SKU is not required to be unique. A seller can specify a particular SKU value on one item or on multiple items. Different sellers can use the same SKUs.

If the SKU is unique across a seller's active listings, and if the seller listed the item by using AddFixedPriceItem or RelistFixedPriceItem, the seller can also set Item.InventoryTrackingMethod to SKU. This allows the seller to use SKU instead of ItemID as a unique identifier in subsequent calls, such as GetItem and ReviseInventoryStatus.

Note: AddFixedPriceItem and RelistFixedPriceItem are defined in the Merchant Data API (part of Large Merchant Services). Max length: 50.

Specifies the earliest (oldest) date to use in a date range filter based on item start time. Each of the time ranges must be a value less than 120 days. In all calls, at least one date-range filter must be specified (i.e., you must specify either the end time range or start time range in every request).

Specifies the seller whose items will be returned. UserID is an optional input. If not specified, retrieves listings for the user identified by the authentication token passed in the request. Note that since user information is anonymous to everyone except the bidder and the seller (during an active auction), only sellers looking for information about their own listings and bidders who know the user IDs of their sellers will be able to make this API call successfully.

Detail levels are instructions that define standard subsets of data to return for particular data components (e.g., each Item, Transaction, or User) within the response payload. For example, a particular detail level might cause the response to include buyer-related data in every result (e.g., for every Item), but no seller-related data.

Specifying a detail level is like using a predefined attribute list in the SELECT clause of an SQL query. Use the DetailLevel element to specify the required detail level that the client application needs pertaining to the data components that are applicable to the request.

The DetailLevelCodeType defines the global list of available detail levels for all request types. Most request types support certain detail levels or none at all. If you pass a detail level that exists in the schema but that isn't valid for a particular request, eBay ignores it and processes the request without it.

For each request type, see the detail level tables in the Input/Output Reference to determine which detail levels are applicable and which elements are returned for each applicable detail level.

Note that DetailLevel is required input for GetMyMessages.

With GetSellerList and other calls that retrieve large data sets, please avoid using ReturnAll when possible. For example, if you use GetSellerList, use GranularityLevel instead, or use GetSellerEvents. If you do use 'ReturnAll' with GetSellerList, use a small Pagination.EntriesPerPage value and a narrow EndTimeFrom/EndTimeTo date range for better performance.

Applicable values:

ItemReturnDescription

(in) Returns the description, plus the ListingDesigner node and some additional information if applicable

ReturnAll

(in) Returns all available data. With GetSellerList and other calls that retrieve large data sets, please avoid using ReturnAll when possible. For example, if you use GetSellerList, use a GranularityLevel or use the GetSellerEvents call instead. If you use ReturnAll with GetSellerList, use a small EntriesPerPage value and a short EndTimeFrom/EndTimeTo range for better performance.

Use ErrorLanguage to return error strings for the call in a different language from the language commonly associated with the site that the requesting user is registered with. Specify the standard RFC 3066 language identification tag (e.g., en_US).

Most Trading API calls support a MessageID element in the request and a CorrelationID element in the response. If you pass in a MessageID in a request, the same value will be returned in the CorrelationID field in the response. Pairing these values can help you track and confirm that a response is returned for every request and to match specific responses to specific requests. If you do not pass a MessageID value in the request, CorrelationID is not returned.

Note:GetCategories is designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, the MessageID and CorrelationID fields aren't applicable. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, MessageID and CorrelationID are applicable.

You can use the OutputSelector field to restrict the data returned by a call. This field can make the call response easier to manage, especially when a large payload is returned. If you use the OutputSelector field, the output data will only include the fields you specified in the request. For example, if you are using GetItem and you only want to retrieve the URL of the View Item page (emitted in ViewItemURL field) and the item's Buy It Now price (emitted in BuyItNowPrice field), you would include two separate OutputSelector fields and set the value for each one as ViewItemURL and BuyItNowPrice as in the following example:

The version number of the API code that you are programming against (e.g., 859). The version you specify for a call has these basic effects:

It indicates the version of the code lists and other data that eBay should use to process your request.

It indicates the schema version you are using.

You need to use a version that is greater than or equal to the lowest supported version. For the SOAP API: If you are using the SOAP API, this field is required. Specify the version of the WSDL your application is using.

For the XML API: If you are using the XML API, this field has no effect. Instead, specify the version in the X-EBAY-API-COMPATIBILITY-LEVEL HTTP header. (If you specify Version in the body of an XML API request and it is different from the value in the HTTP header, eBay returns an informational warning that the value in the HTTP header was used instead.)

Controls whether or not to return warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in a request.

An unrecognized element is one that is not defined in any supported version of the schema. Schema element names are case-sensitive, so using WarningLevel can also help you remove any potential hidden bugs within your application due to incorrect case or spelling in field names before you put your application into the Production environment.

WarningLevel only validates elements; it doesn't validate XML attributes. It also doesn't control warnings related to user-entered strings or numbers, or warnings for logical errors.

We recommend that you only use this during development and debugging. Do not use this in requests performed in the Production environment.

Applicable values:

High

(in) The WarningLevel value is set to High if the user wishes to receive warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in an API call request. Setting the WarningLevel value to High is not recommended in a production environment. Instead, it should only be used during the development/debugging stage.

Low

(in) The WarningLevel value is set to Low if the user does not wish to receive warnings when the application passes unrecognized or deprecated elements in an API call request. This is the default value if WarningLevel is not specified in the call request.

Output

The box below lists all fields that might be returned in the response. To learn more about an individual field or its type, click its name in the box (or scroll down to find it in the table below the box).

See also the Deprecated Objects link above. Fields presented in this color are deprecated, and fields presented in this color are not returned (or soon will not be returned) or are not operational (or soon will be non-operational).

If true, there are more items yet to be retrieved. Additional GetSellerList calls with higher page numbers or more items per page must be made to retrieve these items. Not returned if no items match the request.

DetailLevel: ItemReturnDescription, ReturnAll. Also returned if DetailLevel is not provided on input.

Contains the data properties that define one item listing. GetSellerEvents and GetSellerList only return items if any are available for the seller within the time window specified in the request.

Some optional fields are only returned if the seller defined them for the item. Some fields are only returned under particular conditions specified in the individual field descriptions. For example, a buyer's contact information might only be returned if the member who is making the request (as identified in the eBayAuthToken) has an order relationship with that buyer.

For calls that support detail levels, the set of fields returned is also controlled by the value of DetailLevel in the request. For some calls, other parameters in the request can also control the data returned for each item. For example, GranularityLevel controls the fields to return for each item in the GetSellerList response.

DetailLevel: ItemReturnDescription, ReturnAll. Also returned if DetailLevel is not provided on input.

Return custom, application-specific data associated with the item. The data you specify is stored by eBay with the item for your own reference, but it is not used by eBay in any way. Use ApplicationData to store special information for yourself, such as a part number. For a SKU in an eBay.com listing, use the SKU element instead. To remove this value when revising or relisting an item, use DeletedField.Max length: 32.

If true, the seller requests immediate payment for the item. If false or not specified, immediate payment is not requested. (In responses, does not indicate whether the item is actually still a candidate for purchase via immediate payment.)

Only applicable to items listed on PayPal-enabled sites in categories that support immediate payment (see AutoPayEnabled in GetCategories), when seller has a Premier or Business PayPal account (see PayPalAccountType in GetUser).

To create an Immediate Payment listing, AutoPay must be true, PayPalEmailAddress must be a valid PayPal email address for the seller, and the only included PaymentMethods value must be PayPal.

For a non-Immediate Payment listing, the AutoPay flag is not required.

For the Australia site, BuyerGuaranteePrice is the PayPal Buyer Protection coverage, offered for the item at the time of purchase. Details of coverage are in the following sections of the View Item page: the Buy Safely section and the Payment Details section.

For the Australia site, BuyerGuaranteePrice is the PayPal Buyer Protection coverage, offered for the item at the time of purchase. Details of coverage are in the following sections of the View Item page: the Buy Safely section and the Payment Details section.

Flag to indicate an item's eligibility for the PayPal Buyer Protection program. This field is only returned if true. If this field is not returned, the item is not eligible for PayPal Buyer Protection. For more information on items that are eligible for PayPal Buyer Protection, see the PayPal Buyer Protection help page.

Applicable values: See BuyerProtection.

This field is only applicable for auction listings. By specifying a 'Buy It Now' price, a seller is allowing prospective buyers the opportunity to purchase the item in the auction listing at this price immediately. When a buyer uses the 'Buy It Now' option to purchase the item, the auction listing will end immediately.

By including this field and specifying a 'Buy It Now' price, the seller is enabling the 'Buy It Now' feature on the auction listing. If the seller includes this field for any other listing type other than an auction, this field and its price will just be ignored.

The price in this field must be at least 30 percent higher than the starting bid price (which is specified in an Add call through the Item.StartPrice field). Once a bid is made on an auction listing, and the bid meets or exceeds the Item.ReservePrice value (if set), the 'Buy It Now' option becomes unavailable, and this field will no longer be applicable. If there is no Reserve Price, the first bid will nullify the 'Buy It Now' option.

Keep in mind that GetItem (and other 'Get' calls that retrieve the Item details) may still return the BuyItNowPrice field for an auction item even if the 'Buy It Now' option is no longer available. Instead, a user should look for the ListingDetails.BuyItNowAvailable boolean field in the GetItem response to determine if the 'Buy It Now' option is still available for the auction item.

Note: For the US site, new eBay sellers are subject to Seller Limits, which limit the quantity of items that may be listed and/or the total cumulative value of these listings. While subject to these selling limits, an eBay seller can use the GetMyeBaySelling call to retrieve both the remaining number of listings they can create and the remaining cumulative value of these listings. These values are shown in the Summary.QuantityLimitRemaining and Summary.AmountLimitRemaining fields in the GetMyeBaySelling response. If a call to add an item or revise an item would result in the exceeding of these limits, the add item or revise item call will fail. These fields will only be returned if the seller is subject to seller limits.

This field is only applicable for auction listings. By specifying a 'Buy It Now' price, a seller is allowing prospective buyers the opportunity to purchase the item in the auction listing at this price immediately. When a buyer uses the 'Buy It Now' option to purchase the item, the auction listing will end immediately.

By including this field and specifying a 'Buy It Now' price, the seller is enabling the 'Buy It Now' feature on the auction listing. If the seller includes this field for any other listing type other than an auction, this field and its price will just be ignored.

The price in this field must be at least 30 percent higher than the starting bid price (which is specified in an Add call through the Item.StartPrice field). Once a bid is made on an auction listing, and the bid meets or exceeds the Item.ReservePrice value (if set), the 'Buy It Now' option becomes unavailable, and this field will no longer be applicable. If there is no Reserve Price, the first bid will nullify the 'Buy It Now' option.

Keep in mind that GetItem (and other 'Get' calls that retrieve the Item details) may still return the BuyItNowPrice field for an auction item even if the 'Buy It Now' option is no longer available. Instead, a user should look for the ListingDetails.BuyItNowAvailable boolean field in the GetItem response to determine if the 'Buy It Now' option is still available for the auction item.

Note: For the US site, new eBay sellers are subject to Seller Limits, which limit the quantity of items that may be listed and/or the total cumulative value of these listings. While subject to these selling limits, an eBay seller can use the GetMyeBaySelling call to retrieve both the remaining number of listings they can create and the remaining cumulative value of these listings. These values are shown in the Summary.QuantityLimitRemaining and Summary.AmountLimitRemaining fields in the GetMyeBaySelling response. If a call to add an item or revise an item would result in the exceeding of these limits, the add item or revise item call will fail. These fields will only be returned if the seller is subject to seller limits.

This container identifies the nonprofit organization that will benefit with a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of an item through an auction or fixed-price listing. Charity names and IDs can be found by going to eBay for Charity page and doing a search for a charity registered with the PayPal Giving Fund. The donation percentage can be set in 5 percent increments from 10 percent to 100 percent. If a benefitting charity is specified, the seller must also accept PayPal as a payment method for the item (see Item.PaymentMethods).

When it comes to revising an auction or fixed-price listing, you can add a benefitting charity (as long as there is at least 12 hours left before end of listing/close of auction), but you cannot remove or change a nonprofit company once one is already established in the original listing.

This container will only be returned in Get calls for listings that will benefit a nonprofit organization if the item sells.

The percentage of the purchase price that the seller chooses to donate to the selected nonprofit organization. This percentage is displayed in the eBay for Charity listing. Possible values: 10.0 to 100.0.

This string field is used by the seller to more clearly describe the condition of items that are not brand new.

The ConditionDescription field is available for all categories, including categories where the condition type is not applicable (e.g., Antiques). This field is applicable for all item conditions except 'New', 'Brand New', 'New with tags', and 'New in box'. If ConditionDescription is used with these conditions (Condition IDs 1000-1499), eBay will simply ignore this field if included, and eBay will return a warning message to the user.

This field should only be used to further clarify the condition of the used item. For example, "The right leg of the chair has a small scratch, and on the seat back there is a light blue stain about the shape and size of a coin." It should not be used for branding, promotions, shipping, returns, payment or other information unrelated to the condition of the item. Make sure that the condition type (Item.ConditionID), condition description, item description (Item.Description), and the listing's pictures do not contradict one another.

Note: The ConditionDescription field is optional For Add/Revise/Relist API calls. ConditionDescription is currently supported on the eBay US and US eBay Motors (0), UK (3), CA (2), CAFR (210), AU (15), AT (16), BEFR (23), BENL (123), FR (71), DE (77), IT (101), NL (146), ES (186), CH (193), IE (205) and PL (212) sites. The ConditionDescription field is returned by GetItem (and other related calls that return the Item object) if a condition description is specified in the listing.Max length: 1000.

This two-digit enumeration value indicates the country of the seller's registration address. CountryCodeType defines the supported values. The GeteBayDetails call can also be used (include the DetailName field and set its value to CountryDetails) to see the full list of supported country codes.

In an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call, this field is required.

Applicable values: See Country.
Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

This field is used by sellers who want their listing to be returned in the search results for other eBay sites. This feature is currently only supported by the US, UK, eBay Canada, and eBay Ireland sites. See Getting exposure on international sites for full requirements on using this feature. There is a small listing fee for each country specified as a Cross Border Trade country.

US listings that offer shipping to Canada, North America, or worldwide are automatically returned on eBay.ca at no extra charge, so US listings that offer shipping to these locations do not need to specify Canada as a Cross Border Trade country.

In an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call, this required three-digit enumeration value defines the currency associated with the listing site. The item price and all costs passed in the call request will be using this currency. Similarly, the listing fees and other cost-related data will be using this currency. Since the Trading API can only be used for a select number of eBay sites, only a subset of values are supporting when adding/revising/relisting an item. These supported values are discussed in the top section of CurrencyCodeType.

In 'Get' calls, it is possible that any of the values in CurrencyCodeType may appear, as some cost-related fields will show the buyer's currency type.

Applicable values: See Currency.
Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

The seller's description of the item. In listing requests, you can submit your description using CDATA if you want to use HTML or XML-reserved characters in the description. However, seller can not use any active content in their listing description. Active content includes animation or video via JavaScript, Flash, plug-ins, or form actions. All active content will be blocked/removed from a listing. Removing/blocking active content will lead to faster load times of listings, make listings more mobile-friendly, improve SEO performance, and lead to a more secure eBay Marketplace. For more tips on creating listings that are even more mobile-friendly, see this Best practices document.

For more information about eBay phasing out active content, see this Seller Update page. For more information about eBay's JavaScript/Active Content policy, see the JavaScript policy page.

No seller contact information or links may be included in the listing description. If you embed pictures in the description (by using IMG tags) instead of using PictureURL, but you want a camera icon to appear in search and listing pages, specify the following null-image URL in the PictureURL field: https://pics.ebay.com/aw/pics/dot_clear.gif. See Working with Pictures in an Item Listing in the eBay Features Guide.

This field is conditionally required for all listings. The exception is when the seller specifies a product identifier through the ProductListingDetails container and a product match is found in the eBay product catalog. If a matching product is found in the eBay product catalog, the item description will be created automatically (as long as the ProductListingDetails.IncludeeBayProductDetails value is true).

Max length: 500000 (some sites may allow more, but the exact number may vary).

This container provides information for an item that has a Strikethrough Price (STP) or a Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) discount pricing treatment. STP and MAP apply only to fixed-price listings. STP is available on the US, eBay Motors, UK, Germany, Canada (English and French), France, Italy, and Spain sites, while MAP is available only on the US site.

Discount pricing is available to qualified sellers (and their associated developers) who participate in the Discount Pricing Program. Once qualified, sellers receive a 'special account flag' (SAF) that allows them to apply Discount Pricing to both single-variation and multi-variation items. Sellers should contact their account manager or Customer Service to see if they qualify for the Strikethrough Pricing program.

As a seller listing Discount Price items, you are required to maintain records of your discount pricing in the event you are called upon to substantiate your item pricing.

For AddFixedPriceItem, RelistFixedPriceItem, ReviseFixedPriceItem, and VerifyAddFixedPriceItem: If you are listing variations (MSKU items), use Variation.DiscountPriceInfo for each variation.

Applicable only if the item was specifically made for sale through dedicated eBay outlet pages (e.g., eBay Fashion Outlet).

The comparison price is the price of a comparable product sold through non-outlet channels on eBay (or elsewhere), or not specifically made for the outlet.

In fashion, a "comparable" product shares the same design, but is not considered an identical product. Some products are specifically made for outlets, and may have a different SKU than the "comparable" product. These made-for-outlet products may be manufactured in a different place, with different materials, or according to different specifications (i.e. different stitch pattern, seam reinforcement, button quality, etc.)

Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) is an agreement between suppliers (or manufacturers (OEM)) and the retailers (sellers) stipulating the lowest price an item is allowed to be advertised at. Sellers can offer prices below MAP by means of other discounts. This only applies to fixed-price listings and auction listings with the Buy It Now option.

Used by the eBay UK and eBay Germany (DE) sites, this flag indicates that the discount price (specified as StartPrice) is the price for which the seller offered the same (or similar) item for sale on a Web site or offline store other than eBay in the previous 30 days. The discount price is always in reference to the seller's own price for the item.

If this field is set to 'true', eBay displays 'Was*' in the UK and 'Ursprunglich*' in Germany, next to the discounted price of the item. In the event both SoldOffeBay and SoldOneBay fields are set, SoldOneBay takes precedence.Default: false.

However, a feature similar to eBay Now, called 'eBay Scheduled Delivery', is available in some parts of London, so this field is still applicable on the eBay UK site. This boolean field is returned as true if the listing category supports eBay Scheduled Delivery. A true value does not necessarily mean that the seller has enabled the item with the eBay Scheduled Delivery feature. A listing is enabled with the eBay Scheduled Delivery feature if the eBayNowAvailable field is returned as true.

With eBay Scheduled Delivery, buyers in the London area are able to purchase an item, and then select a short time window (the same day or the following day) in which the item will be delivered.

For some eBay Scheduled Delivery listings, buyers may be able to select an 'As soon as possible' delivery option where a courier will deliver their item within two hours.

If true, this item is being offered under the eBay Plus program. eBay Plus is a premium account option for buyers, which provides benefits such as fast free domestic shipping and free returns on selected items. Top-Rated eBay sellers must opt in to eBay Plus to be able to offer the program on qualifying listings. Sellers must commit to next-day delivery of those items.

Note: Currently, eBay Plus is available only to buyers in Germany (DE), but this program is scheduled to come to the Austria and Australia marketplaces in the near future.

DetailLevel: ItemReturnDescription, ReturnAll. Also returned if DetailLevel is not provided on input.

The unique identifier for a secondary category that eBay has added as a free promotion. You cannot add this yourself. This container is only returned if the item was listed in a single category and eBay added a free secondary category.

This string value is the unique identifier of an eBay category. In GetItem and related calls, see the CategoryName field for the text name of the category. The parent category of this eBay category is only shown in GetCategories.

In an Add/Revise/Relist call, the PrimaryCategory.CategoryID is always required, and the SecondaryCategory.CategoryID is conditionally required if a Secondary Category is used.Max length: 10.

This string value is the display name of the eBay primary category, as it would appear on the eBay site. In GetItem, this will be a fully-qualified category name (e.g., Collectibles:Decorative Collectibles:Hummel, Goebel).

This boolean field is returned as true if the listing has been hidden from all searches occurring on eBay. If a listing is hidden from eBay searches, the reason can be found in the ReasonHideFromSearch field.

This value indicates the number of page views for the listing. This number is calculated by eBay and is returned in 'Get' calls if the HitCounter value is set to BasicStyle, RetroStyle, or HiddenStyle. If the HitCounter value is set to HiddenStyle or NoHitCounter, HitCount is only returned if the one making the call is the item's seller.

Indicates whether the item can be paid for through a payment gateway (Payflow) account. If IntegratedMerchantCreditCardEnabled is true, then integrated merchant credit card (IMCC) is enabled for credit cards because the seller has a payment gateway account. Therefore, if IntegratedMerchantCreditCardEnabled is true, and AmEx, Discover, or VisaMC is returned for an item, then on checkout, an online credit-card payment is processed through a payment gateway account. A payment gateway account is used by sellers to accept online credit cards (Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover).

Indicates whether you prefer to track your eBay listings by eBay Item ID or by your own SKU.

If a seller will be converting an existing eBay listing into the new Inventory model using the bulkMigrateListings call of the Inventory API, the InventoryTrackingMethod value must be set to ItemID (default value), but the item must also have a SKU value (Item.SKU or Variation.SKU) associated with it. For GetItem and related calls: Only returned when the value is SKU; not returned when the value is ItemID.

Applicable values:

CustomCode

(in/out) Reserved for internal or future use.

ItemID

(in/out) Indicates the seller prefers to track the listing by its eBay item ID. This is the default for all listings.

SKU

(in/out) Indicates the seller prefers to track the listing by their own SKU.

When you track by SKU, it means you can pass in your SKU instead of the eBay item ID in other calls that support SKU as an input field. If you choose SKU as your tracking preference for a listing, the value in Item.SKU must be unique across your active listings. You cannot create new listings with the same Item.SKU value while the listing is active (that is, until the existing listing with that SKU has ended).

However, you can use ReviseInventoryStatus to update the quantity and/or price for the existing SKU as needed. When revising a listing where the InventoryTrackingMethod was set to SKU, you must pass in both the InventoryTrackingMethod tag (with the value set to SKU) and the SKU tag with the SKU value from your original listing.

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

The unique identifier of the eBay listing. This identifier is generated by eBay and returned in the response of an Add call if an item is successfully listed. Once an item is successfully created, the ItemID cannot be modified.

Note: Although we represent item IDs as strings in the schema, we recommend you store them as 64-bit signed integers. If you choose to store item IDs as strings, allocate at least 19 characters (assuming decimal digits are used) to hold them. Your code should be prepared to handle IDs of up to 19 digits. Max length: 19 (Note: the eBay database specifies 38. Currently, Item IDs are usually 9 to 12 digits).

DetailLevel: ItemReturnDescription, ReturnAll. Also returned if DetailLevel is not provided on input.

Identifies the Layout template to use when displaying the item's description. Call GetDescriptionTemplates for valid IDs. Set to false in GetDescriptionTemplates (or do not specify LayoutID) to get the standard layout. If a Listing Designer layout is used (except standard layout), PhotoDisplayType must be false (or not be specified). When relisting an item, LayoutID is removed from the listing if you specify ListingDesignerType without LayoutID. Alternatively, to remove this value when revising or relisting an item, use DeletedField.

ID for the Listing Designer theme template to use when displaying the item's description. When relisting, if you specify ListingDesignerType without ThemeID, ThemeID is removed from the listing. Alternatively, to remove this value when revising or relisting an item, use DeletedField.

Various details about a listing, some of which are calculated or derived after the item is listed. These include the start and end time, converted (localized) prices, and certain flags that indicate whether the seller specified fields whose values are not visible to the requesting user. For GetMyeBayBuying, returned as a self-closed element if no listings meet the request criteria.

DetailLevel: ItemReturnDescription, ReturnAll. Also returned if DetailLevel is not provided on input.

If true, the item is listed in a Mature category. Users must accept the Mature Category agreement on the eBay site to retrieve items listed in Mature categories. (Users do not need to sign this agreement to be able to list items in Mature Categories.)

The price at which Best Offers are automatically accepted. Similar in use to MinimumBestOfferPrice. If a buyer submits a Best Offer that is above this value, the offer is automatically accepted by the seller. This applies only to items listed in categories that support the BestOfferAutoAcceptPrice feature.

Best Offer must be enabled for the item, and only the seller who listed the item will see BestOfferAutoAcceptPrice in a call response. On the US eBay Motors site (site ID 0), you cannot use the API to add a minimum Best Offer price. For a ReviseItem call on US eBay Motors, prior use of a minimum Best Offer price on eBay.com is ignored.

If the price for a fixed-price item (set in the StartPrice field) is changed with a Revise call, the BestOfferAutoAcceptPrice and MinimumBestOfferPrice values will be dropped (if they were set for the listing before the Revise call). If the seller wanted to reintroduce either of these Best Offer threshold values in the listing again, an additional Revise call would have to be made, passing in the desired threshold values.

Note: Historically, the Best Offer feature has not been available for auction listings, but beginning with Version 1027, scheduled to roll out the first week in August 2017, sellers in the US, UK, and DE sites will be able to offer the Best Offer feature in auction listings. Once this new capability rolls out, the seller can offer Buy It Now or Best Offer in an auction listing, but not both.

Indicates whether or not the seller's Checkout Enabled preference is turned on (at account level or at listing level). This preference is managed through Payment Preferences in My eBay. If this preference is enabled, a Pay Now button will appear in checkout flow pages and in the email notifications that are sent to buyers. This preferance is enabled by default if PayPal is one of the payment methods.

Converted value of the ReservePrice in the currency of the site that returned this response. Only returned for listings with a reserve price when the requesting user is the listing's seller. For active items, refresh this value every 24 hours to pick up the current conversion rates. Not applicable to Fixed Price listings.

For active items, refresh this value every 24 hours to pick up the current conversion rates. Not applicable to Fixed Price listings.

Specifies the minimum acceptable Best Offer price. If a buyer submits a Best Offer that is below this value, the offer is automatically declined by the seller. This applies only to items listed in categories that support the Best Offer Auto-Decline feature.

Best Offer must be enabled for the item, and only the seller who listed the item can see this value. For a ReviseItem or ReviseFixedPriceItem call on US eBay Motors site, prior use of a minimum Best Offer price on eBay.com is ignored.

Once this new capability rolls out, the seller can offer Buy It Now or Best Offer in an auction listing, but not both.

Indicates the new item ID for a re-listed item. When an item is re-listed, the item ID for the new item is added to the old listing, so buyers can navigate to the new listing. This value only appears when the old listing is retrieved. The RelistedItemID of the original item will reflect the last relist.

The URL of the Web page where a user can view the listing. On the US site, this is called the View Item page. If you enabled affiliate tracking in a search-related call (for example, if you used the AffiliateTrackingDetails container in an applicable call), ViewItemURL contains a string that includes affiliate tracking information (see the eBay Partner Network).

This URL takes you to the same View Item page as ViewItemURL, but this URL is optimized to support natural search. That is, this URL is designed to make items on eBay easier to find via popular Internet search engines. The URL includes the item title along with other optimizations. To note, "?" (question mark) optimizes to "_W0QQ", "&" (ampersand) optimizes to "QQ", and "=" (equals sign) optimizes to "Z".

If you are an eBay affiliate, use this URL to promote your affiliate information.

Note: This URL may include additional query parameters that don't appear in ViewItemURL and vice versa. You should not modify the query syntax. For example, eBay won't recognize the URL if you change QQ to ?.

Describes the number of days the seller wants the listing to be active (available for bidding/buying). The duration specifies the seller's initial intent at listing time.

The end time for a listing is calculated by adding the duration to the item's start time. If the listing ends early, the value of the listing duration does not change. When a listing's duration is changed, any related fees (e.g., 10-day fee) may be debited or credited (as applicable).

The valid choice of values depends on the listing format (see Item.ListingType). For a list of valid values, call GetCategoryFeatures with DetailLevel set to ReturnAll and look for ListingDurations information.

When you revise a listing, the duration cannot be reduced if it will result in ending the listing within 24 hours of the current date-time. You are only allowed to increase the duration of the listing if fewer than 2 hours have passed since you initially listed the item and the listing has no bids. You can decrease the value of this field only if the listing has no bids (or no items have sold) and the listing does not end within 12 hours.

Describes listing upgrades that sellers can select for a fee, such as the BoldTitle upgrade. Also includes feature packs for saving on listing upgrades. See Listing Upgrades in the eBay site help.

You cannot remove listing upgrades when you revise a listing. When you relist an item, use DeletedField to remove a listing upgrades.

Applicable values:

BoldTitle

(in/out) If specified, the seller wants the title for the item's listing to be in boldface type. Applicable listing fees apply. Does not affect the item subtitle (Item.SubTitle), if any. Not applicable to eBay Motors.

CustomCode

(in/out) Reserved for internal or future use.

HomePageFeatured

(in/out) Listing will have a chance to rotate into a special display on eBay's Home page. Your item is very likely to show up on the Home page, although eBay does not guarantee that your item will be highlighted in this way. This is the highest level of visibility on eBay.

Not applicable for eBay Motors. In order to feature the listing on eBay Motors home page, use PictureDetails.GalleryType.Featured instead. See GalleryTypeCodeType for more information.

ValuePackBundle

(in/out) Listing is using ValuePack bundle (a feature pack), which combines the features Gallery, Subtitle, and Listing Designer for a discounted price. Support for this feature varies by site and category.

Whenever ValuePackBundle is selected in a request, the Value Pack bundle is automatically upgraded to the Gallery Plus feature at no extra cost (see Item.PictureDetails.GalleryType.Plus for more information on Gallery Plus). The Gallery Plus upgrade will display on all sites and categories that support ValuePackBundle.

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

Indicates a specific type of lead generation format listing, such as classified ad or local market best offer listing. Only applicable when ListingType = LeadGeneration.

Note:ListingSubtype2 replaces the deprecated ListingSubtype field. If both are specified in a request, ListingSubtype2 takes precedence.

Applicable values:

ClassifiedAd

(in/out) General classified ad listing subtype.

Note: This value indicates a classified ad (or digital download) listing on ebay.com websites, not on ebayclassifieds.com. The ebayclassifieds.com site is not supported by the Trading API. For information about other differences between these two sites, see Advertising with classified ads on eBay and eBay Classifieds.

CustomCode

(in/out) Reserved for internal or future use

LocalMarketBestOfferOnly

(in/out) General LocalMarketBestOfferOnly listing subtype.

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

The selling format of the eBay listing, such as auction (indicated with Chinese value), fixed-price (indicated with FixedPriceItem value), or classified ad (indicated with AdType value).

If this field is not included in an AddItem, AddItems, AddSellingManagerTemplate, or VerifyAddItem call, the listing type defaults to auction

For AddFixedPriceItem, RelistFixedPriceItem, or VerifyAddFixedPriceItem call, this field must be included and set to FixedPriceItem, since these calls only work with fixed-price listings.

This field is not applicable to Revise calls because the selling format of active listings cannot be changed.

Applicable values:

AdType

(in/out) Advertisement to solicit inquiries on listings such as real estate. Permits no bidding on that item, service, or property. To express interest, a buyer fills in a contact form that eBay forwards to the seller as a lead. This format does not enable buyers and sellers to transact online through eBay, and eBay Feedback is not available for ad format listings.

Chinese

(in/out) This value indicates a single-quantity auction listing. In an auction listing, prospective buyers engage in a competitive bidding process, although Buy It Now may be offered as long as no bids have been placed. Auctions occur on the eBay marketplace site, and the auction listings will also appear in the seller's eBay Store (if the seller has an eBay Store).

Note: Historically, the Best Offer feature has not been available for auction listings, but beginning with Version 1027, sellers in the US, UK, and DE sites will be able to offer the Best Offer feature in auction listings. The seller can offer Buy It Now or Best Offer in an auction listing, but not both features.

CustomCode

(in/out) Reserved for internal or future use.

FixedPriceItem

(in/out) A basic fixed-price item format. Bids do not occur. The quantity of items is one or more.

Also known as Buy It Now Only on some sites (not to be confused with the BuyItNow option that is available for auctions).

Sellers must meet certain feedback requirements and/or be ID Verified to use this format. See eBay Features Guide for more information.

Fixed-price listings are listed on eBay.com, and they are listed in the seller's eBay Store if the seller is a Store owner. Stores fixed price items will be treated as basic fixed-price items. Permitted durations of 30 days and GTC are now available for store and non-store subscribers (in addition to the existing durations of 3, 5, 7, and 10 days).

LeadGeneration

(in/out) Lead Generation format (advertisement-style listing to solicit inquiries or offers, no bidding or fixed price, listed on eBay).

Indicates the geographical location of the item (along with the value in the Country field). When you revise a listing, you can add or change this value only if the listing has no bids (or no items have sold) and it does not end within 12 hours.

If you do not specify Location, you must specify Item.PostalCode. If you specify a postal code, but do not specify a location, then the location is given a default value derived from the postal code.

For the Classified Ad format for motors vehicle listings, the value provided in the Location field is used as item location only if the SellerContactDetails.Street and the SellerContactDetails.Street2 are empty. Else, the SellerContactDetails.Street and the SellerContactDetails.Street2 will be used for item location.Max length: 45.

Identifies the payment method (such as PayPal) that the seller will accept when the buyer pays for the item. For Add/Revise/Relist calls, at least one payment method must be specified.

Use GetCategoryFeatures to determine the payment methods that are allowed for a category on a site. For example, the response data of GetCategoryFeatures will show that on the US site, most categories only allow electronic payments. Also use GetCategoryFeatures to determine the default payment methods for a site.

Do not use GeteBayDetails to determine the payment methods for a site.

If you specify multiple PaymentMethods fields, the repeating fields must be contiguous. For example, you can specify PayPalEmailAddress after a list of repeating PaymentMethods fields, but not between them:

In general, if you separate repeating instances of a field, the results will be unpredictable. This rule applies to all repeating fields (maxOccurs="unbounded" or greater than 1) in the schema. See Overview of the API Schema in the eBay Features Guide.

Note: Required or allowed payment methods vary by site and category. Refer to Determining the Payment Methods Allowed for a Category in the eBay Features Guide to help you determine which payment methods you are required or allowed to specify. Payment methods are not applicable to any classified ad listings, as any agreement and payment is handled off of the eBay platform.

For ReviseItem and RelistItem only: A listing must have at least one valid payment method. When you revise or relist an item and you specify a payment method that is invalid for the target site, eBay ignores the invalid payment method, applies the other valid changes, and returns a warning to indicate that the invalid payment method was ignored.

If multiple payment methods were invalid, the warning indicates that they were all ignored. If you modify the listing so that it includes no valid payment methods, an error is returned. This situation could occur when the seller removes all valid payment methods or when all the payment methods specified for the item are no longer valid on the target site.

Applicable values: See PaymentMethods.
Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

This container consists of the data associated with photos within the listing. With most eBay sites and categories, a seller can add up to 12 photos to their listings free of charge. These photos can be hosted by eBay Picture Services (EPS), or the seller can host pictures on a non-eBay server. If pictures are externally-hosted, they must be hosted on a site that is using the 'https' protocol.

It is required that all listings have at least one picture. eBay Motors listings can have up to 24 pictures.

DetailLevel: ItemReturnDescription, ReturnAll. Also returned if DetailLevel is not provided on input.

Specifies the Gallery enhancement type for the listing. All listings automatically get the Gallery enhancement at no cost, so you never need to set this field to Gallery.

Gallery types are accumulative. This means if you use Plus, you also get the features of Gallery and if you use Featured, you get all the features of Gallery and Plus. Passing the values Plus and Featured together in the same request will return an error.

The Gallery image will be the first PictureURL in the array of PictureURL fields.

When revising a listing, if you remove Plus or Featured, the original feature fee will not be credited. If you upgrade to Featured, the original feature fee is credited, and the new feature fee is charged.

Applicable values:

CustomCode

(in/out) Reserved for internal use only.

Featured

(in/out) Highlights the listing by randomly placing it at the top of the search results. When Featured is included in an item listing, the listing also automatically gets the Gallery and Plus functionality at no extra cost.

Sites That Support Featured: You can check if a site supports Featured by using the GeteBayDetails call and passing in ListingFeatureDetails in the DetailName field. In the response, check the ListingFeatureDetails container for FeaturedFirst.

Gallery

(in/out) This feature, which is free on all sites, adds a Gallery image in the search results. A Gallery image is an image that was uploaded and copied to EPS (eBay Picture Service). This copy is stored for 30 days or until the image is associated with a listing. Once the image is associated with a listing, the period is extended to 90 days after the item's sale_end date and is extended again if the item is relisted or used in subsequent listings. As part of storing a copy, EPS also makes additional sizes available (thumbnail, main image, supersize, popup, etc.), which are used by the various Gallery enhancements.

(in/out) Gallery is supported free on all sites. So this field is useful only for removing an existing feature setting when using RelistItem.

Plus

(in/out) Adds a Gallery Plus icon to the listing.

When Plus is selected in a request that specifies at least two images (using ItemType.PictureDetailsType.PictureURL), the Gallery Plus feature automatically includes a Gallery Showcase of all the listing's images.

The Gallery Showcase displays when hovering over or clicking on the listing's Gallery Plus icon in the search results. The Showcase window displays a large (400px x 400px) preview image which is first image specified PictureURL, as well as up to 11 (64 px x 64 px) selectable thumbnails for the remaining EPS images. Clicking on the preview image displays the item's listing page.

If Plus is selected and the request includes only one EPS image or any self-hosted images, the listing includes a Gallery Plus icon that, when hovered over or clicked, displays a large (400px x 400px) preview image of the item. Clicking the image displays the View Item page for that listing.

When using RelistItem or ReviseItem (item has no bids and more than 12 hours before the listing's end), Plus can be unselected in the request. However, the Plus fee will still apply if a previous request selected Plus. There is at most one Plus fee per listing.

When "Plus" is included in an item listing, the listing also automatically gets the Gallery functionality at no extra cost. "Gallery" does not need to be specified separately in the listing.

Listing images that are originally smaller than 400px x 400px are centered in the preview frame. Images that are originally larger than 400px x 400px are scaled down to 400px on their longest side (maintaining their original aspect ratio).

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

DetailLevel: ItemReturnDescription, ReturnAll. Also returned if DetailLevel is not provided on input.

Category ID for the first (or only) category in which the item is listed (or will be listed, if the item is new). A number of listing features have dependencies on the primary category. We have pointed out a few of the notable dependencies below. See the descriptions of the fields you are using to determine whether the feature you're supporting depends on the listing's primary category.

For the AddItem family of calls: Use calls like GetCategories, GetCategoryFeatures, and GetCategorySpecifics to determine valid metadata values for the site on which you are listing (see Maintaining Category Data for information on working with categories). Also see Item.CategoryMappingAllowed and Item.CategoryBasedAttributesPrefill.

There are a number of categories on some eBay sites that always add the Gallery feature (for free) when you include a picture in the listing and you don't specify the Gallery feature yourself.

If you list with a eBay catalog product, eBay may drop the primary category you specify and use the category that is associated with the catalog product instead, if different.

For ReviseItem only: When revising a listing, you can change the primary category only if an auction listing has no bids or a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing has no sales, and the listing does not end within 12 hours.

If you change the listing category, any Item Specifics that were previously specified may be dropped from the listing if they aren't valid for the new category. For the eBay US site, we suggest that you avoid including a category ID when you list with an Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) through the ProductListingDetails container.

When you list an event ticket on the US site, you must specify one of the leaf categories under the Tickets & Experiences meta category.

This string value is the unique identifier of an eBay category. In GetItem and related calls, see the CategoryName field for the text name of the category. The parent category of this eBay category is only shown in GetCategories.

In an Add/Revise/Relist call, the PrimaryCategory.CategoryID is always required, and the SecondaryCategory.CategoryID is conditionally required if a Secondary Category is used.Max length: 10.

This string value is the display name of the eBay primary category, as it would appear on the eBay site. In GetItem, this will be a fully-qualified category name (e.g., Collectibles:Decorative Collectibles:Hummel, Goebel).

A true value in this field indicates the listing is private. In a private listing, a buyer's User ID will not appear in an auction listing's bid history. Sellers may want to use this option when they believe that potential bidders for an auction item would not want their User IDs exposed to others. This setting is only applicable to auction listings.

Some listings on the eBay platform originate from eBay affiliates. Depending on the relationship the affiliate has with eBay, there are times when the affiliate retains ownership of the listing. When this occurs the representation of the listing on eBay is considered a proxy item. Proxy items can only be edited using API requests from the applications that originally listed them.

For AddItem family of calls: The Quantity value for auction listings must always be 1. For a fixed-price listing, the Quantity value indicates the number of identical items the seller has available for sale in the listing. If variations are specified in AddFixedPriceItem or VerifyAddFixedPriceItem, the Item.Quantity is not required since the quantity of variations is specified in Variation.Quantity instead. See the Creating a listing with variations eBay Help page for more information on variations.

For ReviseItem and ReviseFixedPriceItem: This value can only be changed for a fixed-price listing with no variations. The quantity of variations is controlled in the Variation.Quantity field and the Item.Quantity value for an auction listing should always be 1.

For RelistItem and RelistFixedPriceItem: Like most fields, when you use RelistItem or RelistFixedPriceItem, Quantity retains its original value unless you specifically change it. This means that the item is relisted with the value that was already in Quantity, not with the remaining quantity available. For example, if the original Quantity value was 10, and three items have been sold, eBay sets the relisted item's Quantity to 10 by default, and not 7. So, we strongly recommend that you always set Quantity to the correct value (your actual quantity available) in your relist requests.

For GetSellerEvents:Quantity is only returned for listings where item quantity is greater than 1.

For GetItem and related calls: This is the total of the number of items available for sale plus the quantity already sold. To determine the number of items available, subtract SellingStatus.QuantitySold from this value.

For order line item calls with variations: In GetItemTransactions, Item.Quantity is the same as GetItem (the total quantity across all variations). In GetSellerTransactions, Transaction.Item.Quantity is the total quantity of the applicable variation (quantity available plus quantity sold).

Note: For the US site, new eBay sellers are subject to Seller Limits, which limit the quantity of items that may be listed and/or the total cumulative value of these listings. While subject to these selling limits, an eBay seller can use the GetMyeBaySelling call to retrieve both the remaining number of listings they can create and the remaining cumulative value of these listings. These values are shown in the Summary.QuantityLimitRemaining and Summary.AmountLimitRemaining fields in the GetMyeBaySelling response. If a call to add an item or revise an item would result in the exceeding of these limits, the add item or revise item call will fail. These fields will only be returned if the seller is subject to seller limits.

The quantity threshold above which the seller prefers not to show the actual quantity available. Returned when the quantity available is greater than the value of quantity threshold. Currently, 10 is the only available value for this threshold.

This field is returned only when the listing is currently being hidden from any searches occurring on eBay. Listings may be hidden from search if an active listing is currently out of stock or if the listing has been determined by eBay to be a duplicate listing.

Applicable values:

DuplicateListing

(out) This value indicates that the auction listing is being hidden from search on the eBay site because the listing has been determined by eBay to be a duplicate listing with zero bids.

This enumeration is associated with eBay Duplicate Listings Policy, which has taken effect on the US, CA, CA-FR, and eBay Motors (Parts and Accessories only) sites. Event Tickets, Real Estate, and Motor Vehicle categories are excluded from this policy. For more information, read eBay's Duplicate Listings Policy help page.

OutOfStock

(out) This value indicates that the listing is hidden from search because the quantity is zero. However, the listing is still alive and will reappear in the search results when the quantity is set to something greater than zero. For more information, see SetUserPreferences.OutOfStockControlPreference.

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

The lowest price at which the seller is willing to sell an auction item. (StartPrice must be lower than ReservePrice .) Not all categories support a Reserve Price. Use GetCategories to see if a category supports a Reserve Price. In calls that retrieve item data, the ReservePrice field will only be returned to the auction item's seller, and only if a Reserve Price has been set up. A Reserve Price is not applicable to fixed-price or classified ad listings.

You can remove the Reserve price of a US eBay Motors listing if the category allows it, the current Reserve Price has not been met, and the Reserve Price is at least $2.00 more than the current high bid. In this case, if the item has bids, the Reserve Price is set to $1.00 over the current high bid. The next bid meets the Reserve Price and wins. See Fees Overview below for information about fee credits that may be available when the Reserve Price is removed for a Motors listing.

See Fees Overview below for information about fee credits that may be available when the Reserve Price is removed for a Motors listing.

Describes the seller's return policy. Most categories on most eBay sites require the seller to clearly specify whether or not returns are accepted (see ReturnsAcceptedOption).

For the AddItem family of calls: Required for most categories on most sites. Use ReturnPolicyEnabled in GetCategoryFeatures to determine which categories require this field. Also use ReturnPolicyDetails in GeteBayDetails to determine which ReturnPolicy fields can be used on each site.

eBay India (IN), Australia (AU), and US eBay Motors Parts and Accessories categories typically support but do not require a return policy. (However, we strongly recommend that you specify a clear return policy whenever possible.)

For ReviseItem only: If the listing has bids or sales and it ends within 12 hours, you can't change the return policy details. If the listing is a GTC listing that has sales or ends within 12 hours (one or the other, but not both), you can add a return policy to the GTC listing (but you can't change return policy details if already present). If the listing has no bids or sales and more than 12 hours remain before the listing ends, you can add or change the return policy. When you revise your return policy, you only need to specify the fields you want to add or change. You don't need to specify all the other ReturnPolicy fields again. The other fields will retain their existing settings.

For the GetItem family of calls: Only returned if the site you sent the request to supports the seller's return policy. Typically, the return policy details are only returned when the request is sent to the listing site.

eBay uses this text string as-is in the Return Policy section of the View Item page. Avoid HTML, and avoid character entity references (such as &pound; or &#163;). If you include special characters in the return policy description, use the literal UTF-8 or ISO-8559-1 character (e.g. £).

For AddItem, VerifyAddItem, and RelistItem: If the seller accepts returns (ReturnsAcceptedOption = ReturnsAccepted) but does not specify this field when listing the item, GetItem returns this as an empty node

For ReviseItem only: If the listing has bids or sales and/or ends within 12 hours, you can't change this value. See the parent ReturnPolicy node description for more details.Max length: 5000.

Display string that buyer applications can use to present RefundOption in a more user-friendly format to buyers. For example, in GetItem and related calls, this value is usually localized and can contain spaces. If necessary, you can predict the choice of values based on the Refund.Description options returned by GeteBayDetails.

Not applicable as input to the Add/Revise/Relist family of calls. (Use RefundOption instead.)

Indicates how the seller will compensate the buyer for a returned item. Use the ReturnPolicy.Description field to explain the policy details (such as how quickly the seller will process the refund, whether the seller must receive the item before processing the refund, and other useful details.).

The RefundOption field is not supported by any of the European sites.

Applicable values: To get the applicable RefundOption values for your site, call GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ReturnPolicyDetails, and then look for the ReturnPolicyDetails.Refund.RefundOption fields in the response.

For Add/Revise/Relist/VerifyAdd API calls): If the seller accepts returns (ReturnsAcceptedOption = ReturnsAccepted) but you do not pass in this RefundOption field when listing the item, some eBay sites may set a default value (like MoneyBack), and the seller is obligated to honor this setting. Therefore, to avoid unexpected obligations, the seller should set a specific value for this field.

For Revise calls only: If the listing has bids or sales and/or ends within 12 hours, you can't change this value. See the parent ReturnPolicy node description for more details.

Note: The RefundOption values supported on the US site are MoneyBack and MoneyBackOrReplacement. If a seller has the depth of inventory to support an exchange for an identical item, MoneyBackOrReplacement can be used. A seller with limited inventory of an item should use the MoneyBack option.

Display string that indicates the restocking fee charged by the seller for returned items. This value is directly related to the RestockingFeeValueOption value, with the difference being that applications can use RestockingFeeValue to present the RestockingFeeValueOption value in a more user-friendly format when used in a GUI features such as option buttons or drop-down lists.

This enumeration value indicates the restocking fee charged by the seller for returned items. In order to charge the buyer a restocking fee when an item is returned, a US seller must input a restocking fee value as part of the return policy.

For the restocking fee to take effect, the seller needs to opt into eBay's return process. Otherwise, the restocking fee is ignored.

For Add/Revise/Relist calls: To obtain the list of applicable values, call GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ReturnPolicyDetails. Then look for the list of restocking fee value options in the ReturnPolicyDetails.RestockingFeeValue container in the response.

For Get calls: The RestockingFeeValue field is directly related to RestockingFeeValueOption, and gives a user-friendly description of the restocking fee policy.

Display string that buyer applications can use to present ReturnsAcceptedOption in a more user-friendly format to buyers. For example, in GetItem and related calls, this value is usually localized and can contain spaces.

If necessary, you can predict the choice of values based on the ReturnsAccepted.Description options returned by GeteBayDetails. Not applicable as input to the AddItem family of calls. (Use ReturnsAcceptedOption instead.)

Indicates whether the seller allows the buyer to return the item. This field is required when ReturnPolicy is specified. If you specify ReturnsNotAccepted, the View Item page will indicate that returns are not accepted instead.)

All sites support the ability for a seller to not accept returns. If the seller doesn't accept returns, the item must specifically indicate ReturnsNotAccepted. (The return policy cannot be omitted from the item.)

On the eBay UK and Ireland sites, business sellers must accept returns for fixed-price items (including auction items with Buy It Now, and any other fixed price formats) when the category requires a return policy. On some European sites (such as eBay Germany (DE), registered business sellers are required to accept returns. Your application can call GetUser to determine a user's current business seller status.

Note: In order for Top-Rated sellers to receive a Top-Rated Plus seal for their listings, returns must be accepted for the item (ReturnsAcceptedOption = ReturnsAccepted) and handling time should be set to zero days (same-day shipping) or one day. The handling time is set through an integer value in the Item.DispatchTimeMax field.

Top-Rated listings qualify for the greatest average boost in Best Match and for the 20 percent Final Value Fee discount. For more information on eBay's Top-Rated seller program, see the Becoming a Top Rated Seller and qualifying for Top Rated Plus page. Applicable values: To get the applicable ReturnsAcceptedOption values for your site, call GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ReturnPolicyDetails, and then look for the ReturnPolicyDetails.ReturnsAccepted.Description fields in the response. ReturnsAcceptedOptionsCodeType defines all the possible values.

For ReviseItem only: If the listing has bids or sales and/or ends within 12 hours, you can't change this value. See the parent ReturnPolicy node description for more details.

This container is returned if a listing has been revised in any way since it first became active. One or more boolean fields will be returned under this container based on the type of revision(s) that occured, including a general revision, a price change, or a feature added or removed.

The unique identifer for a secondary category. This field is only applicable if the seller decides to list the item under two categories.

You cannot list US eBay Motors vehicles in two categories. However, you can list Parts & Accessories in two categories. The Final Value Fee is based on the primary category in which the item is listed. Furthermore, you can list the same item in an eBay Motors Parts & Accessories category and in an eligible eBay category, as long as the primary category is associated with the site on which you are listing. That is, the two categories can be a mix of Motors Parts & Accessories and eBay site categories. (Real Estate, Mature Audience (adult), and Business & Industrial categories are not eligible for listing in two categories in this manner.) For example, if you list on Motors, the primary category could be 6750 (eBay Motors > Parts & Accessories > Apparel & Merchandise > Motorcycle > Jackets & Leathers), and the secondary category could be 57988 (eBay > Clothing, Shoes > Accessories > Men's Clothing > Outerwear). If you list on the main eBay site, the primary category could be 57988 and the secondary category could be 6750.

If eBay has designated a category as a value category (see ValueCategory in GetCategoryFeatures), items in that category cannot be listed in two categories. For example, if your AddItem request includes a primary or secondary category that is a value category, then eBay drops SecondaryCategory and lists the item with only the PrimaryCategory you selected. Also, if the listing request includes item specifics (in ItemSpecifics) that are associated with SecondaryCategory, eBay drops those values when we drop SecondaryCategory. (The same logic is used if you revise an existing listing to add a secondary category or to change one of the categories: If either the primary or secondary category is a value category, eBay drops the secondary category from your request.)

To remove this value when relisting an item, use DeletedField.

For ReviseItem only: When revising a listing, you can add, remove, or change the secondary category only if the listing has no bids (or no items have sold) and it does not end within 12 hours. If you change the secondary category, any corresponding Item Specifics (attributes) that were previously specified may be dropped from the listing if they aren't valid for the category.

When you revise an item, you can change the secondary category from a Motors Parts & Accessories category to an eBay category or vice versa if the listing has no bids (or no items have sold) and it does not end within 12 hours.

This string value is the unique identifier of an eBay category. In GetItem and related calls, see the CategoryName field for the text name of the category. The parent category of this eBay category is only shown in GetCategories.

In an Add/Revise/Relist call, the PrimaryCategory.CategoryID is always required, and the SecondaryCategory.CategoryID is conditionally required if a Secondary Category is used.Max length: 10.

This string value is the display name of the eBay primary category, as it would appear on the eBay site. In GetItem, this will be a fully-qualified category name (e.g., Collectibles:Decorative Collectibles:Hummel, Goebel).

Contact information for sellers using the Classified Ad format for eBay Motors vehicles categories. To remove seller contact information when revising or relisting an item, use DeletedField. The seller contact details for the primary and secondary phone numbers cannot be deleted individually.

To provide City, State, and Zip code information in SellerContactDetails use the following field:Item.SellerContactDetails.Street2

To delete the secondary phone number, for example, you must delete all of the secondary phone fields:Item.SellerContactDetails.Phone2AreaOrCityCode Item.SellerContactDetails.Phone2CountryCode Item.SellerContactDetails.Phone2CountryPrefix Item.SellerContactDetails.Phone2LocalNumber

This container is used if the seller would like to use/reference Business Policies to create, revise, relist, or verify their listing. The seller's account must be opted in to Business Policies to use this container. If this container is used, exactly one Payment Business Policy, one Shipping Business Policy, and one Return Business Policy is applied to the listing. If the seller's account is not opted in to Business Policies, that seller may not use this container. Sellers must opt-in to Business Policies through My eBay or by using the optInToProgram call of the eBay Account API.

If Business Policies are applied to a listing, all payment, shipping, and return policy settings in these policies will override any other payment, shipping, or return policy legacy fields that are included in the call request.

For auction listings, this price is the starting minimum price (if the listing has no bids) or the current highest bid (if bids have been placed) for the item. This does not reflect the BuyItNow price.

For fixed-price and ad format listings, this is the current listing price.

In multi-variation, fixed-price listings, this value matches the lowest-priced variation that is still available for sale.

For auction listings, this price is the starting minimum price (if the listing has no bids) or the current highest bid (if bids have been placed) for the item. This does not reflect the BuyItNow price.

For fixed-price and ad format listings, this is the current listing price.

In multi-variation, fixed-price listings, this value matches the lowest-priced variation that is still available for sale.

For ended auction listings that have a winning bidder, this field is a container for the high bidder's user ID. For ended, single-item, fixed-price listings, this field is a container for the user ID of the purchaser. This field isn't returned for auctions with no bids, or for active fixed-price listings.

In the case of PlaceOffer, for auction listings, this field is a container for the high bidder's user ID. In the PlaceOffer response, the following applies: For multiple-quantity, fixed-price listings, the high bidder is only returned if there is just one order line item (or only for the first order line item that is created).

This container uses AddressType, and each call that uses BuyerType uses the ShippingAddress container a little differently. See the Call Reference documentation for each call to see what fields of AddressType are used by each call. Output only.

For a Global Shipping Program order, GetSellerList and GetMyeBaySelling return the postal code of the buyer, not that of the international shipping provider.Max length:
This varies based on the user's country. Currently, the maximum length is 9 (not
counting delimiter characters) for the US. Note: The eBay database allocates up to
24 characters for this field.
.

Email address for the user. Please see the links below to the topics related to anonymous user information and static email addresses. You cannot retrieve an email address for any user with whom you do not have an order relationship, regardless of site.

An email address of another user is only returned if you and the other user are in an order relationship, within a certain time of order line item creation (although this limitation isn't applicable to the GetAllBidders call in the case of motor vehicles categories.) Based on Trust and Safety policies, the time is unspecified and can vary by site.

Since a bidder's user info is anonymous, this tag will be returned only to that bidder, and to the seller of an item that the user is bidding on.

For the order retrieval calls, the buyer's registration email address is only returned if the buyer is registered on the DE, AT, or CH sites, regardless of the seller's registration site and the site to which the seller sends the request.Max length:
64 for US. May differ for other countries. Note: The eBay database
allocates up to 128 characters for this field

Indicates whether the user has chosen to make their feedback score and feedback details private (hidden from other users). The percentage of positive feedback can still be returned, even if other feedback details are private.

Since a bidder's user info is anonymous, this tag will be returned only to that bidder, and to the seller of an item that the user is bidding on.

For GetOrders, GetOrderTransactions, and GetItemTransactions only: If using Trading WSDL Version 1019 or above, this field will only be returned to the buyer or seller, and no longer returned at all to third parties. If using a Trading WSDL older than Version 1019, the accurate Feedback Rating Star value for the user is returned to the buyer or seller, but a dummy value of None will be returned to all third parties.

Applicable values: See FeedbackRatingStar.
Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

The aggregate feedback score for a user. A user's feedback score is the net positive feedback minus the net negative feedback left for the user. Feedback scores are a quantitative expression of the desirability of dealing with a user as a buyer or a seller in either side of an order.

Each order line item can result in one feedback entry for a given user (the buyer can leave feedback for the seller, and the seller can leave feedback for the buyer.). That one feedback can be positive, negative, or neutral. The aggregated feedback counts for a particular user represent that user's overall feedback score (referred to as a "feedback rating" on the eBay site).

If the user has chosen to make their feedback private and that user is not the user identified in the request's authentication token, FeedbackScore is not returned and FeedbackPrivate is returned with a value of true.

In GetMyeBayBuying and GetMyeBaySelling, feedback information (FeedbackScore and FeedbackRatingStar) is returned in BidList.ItemArray.Item.Seller. For GetMyeBayBuying, the feedback score of each seller with an item having received a bid from the buyer is returned. For GetMyeBaySelling, the feedback score of the seller is returned.

GetMyeBayBuying and GetMyeBaySelling also return feedback information (FeedbackScore and FeedbackRatingStar) in BidList.ItemArray.Item.SellingStatus.HighBidder. GetMyeBayBuying returns feedback information on the high bidder of each item the buyer is bidding on. GetMyeBaySelling returns feedback information on the high bidder of each item the seller is selling.

Since a bidder's user info is anonymous, the real feedback score will be returned only to that bidder, and to the seller of an item that the user is bidding on. For all other users, the value -99 is returned.

For GetOrders, GetOrderTransactions, and GetItemTransactions only: If using Trading WSDL Version 1019 or above, this field will only be returned to the buyer or seller, and no longer returned at all to third parties. If using a Trading WSDL older than Version 1019, the accurate Feedback Score for the user is returned to the buyer or seller, but a dummy value of 0 will be returned to all third parties.

If true, identifies a new user who has been a registered eBay user for 30 days or less. This is always false after the user has been registered for more than 30 days. Does not indicate an ID change (see UserIdChanged).

Indicates whether or not the User container has been made anonymous. If true, some elements in the User container have either been removed, or had their values changed to remove identifying characteristics. If false, all expected elements are returned, and no values are changed.

Since a bidder's user info is anonymous, this tag is returned as false only to the bidder, and to the seller of an item that the user is bidding on. For all other users, this tag is returned as true.

Since a bidder's user info is anonymous, this tag contains the actual value of an ID only for that bidder, and for the seller of an item that the user is bidding on. For other users, the actual value is replaced by an anonymous value, according to these rules:

When bidding on items, UserID is replaced with the value "a****b" where a and b are random characters from the UserID. For example, if the UserID = IBidALot, it might be displayed as, "I****A".

Important: In this format, the anonymous bidder ID can change for each auction. For GetMyeBayBuying only, when bidding on items: UserID is replaced with the value "a****b" where a and b are random characters from the UserID.

When bidding on items listed on the the Philippines site: UserID is replaced with the value "Bidder X" where X is a number indicating the order of that user's first bid. For example, if the user was the third bidder, UserID = Bidder 3. Note that in this Philippines site format, the anonymous bidder ID stays the same for a given auction, but is different for different auctions. For example, a bidder who is the third and then the seventh bidder in an auction will be listed for both bids as "Bidder 3". However, if that same bidder is the first bidder on a different auction, the bidder will be listed for that auction as "Bidder 1", not "Bidder 3".

For GetMyeBayBuying only, when bidding on items listed on the UK and AU sites: UserID is replaced with the string "High Bidder".

Applicable to Ad type listings only. Indicates how many leads to potential buyers are associated with this item. Returns 0 (zero) for listings in other formats. You must be the seller of the item to retrieve the lead count.

If a listing ends with a sale (or sales), eBay needs to update the sale details (e.g., total price and buyer/high bidder) and the final value fee. This processing can take several minutes.

If you retrieve a sold item and no details about the buyer/high bidder are returned or no final value fee is available, use this listing status information to determine whether eBay has finished processing the listing.

Applicable values:

Active

(out) The listing is still active or the listing has ended with a sale but eBay has not completed processing the sale details (e.g., total price and high bidder). A multi-item listing is considered active until all items have winning bids or purchases or the listing ends with at least one winning bid or purchase. If the listing has ended with a sale but this Active status is returned, please allow several minutes for eBay to finish processing the listing.

Completed

(out) The listing has closed and eBay has completed processing the sale. All sale information returned from eBay (e.g., total price and high bidder) should be considered accurate and complete. Although the Final Value Fee (FVF) for FixedPriceItem and StoresFixedPrice items is returned by GetSellerTransactions and GetItemTransactions, all other listing types (excluding Buy It Now purchases) require the listing status to be Completed before the Final Value Fee is returned.

Custom

(out) Reserved for internal or future use.

CustomCode

(out) Reserved for internal or future use.

Ended

(out) The listing has ended. If the listing ended with a sale, eBay has completed processing of the sale. All sale information returned from eBay (e.g., total price and high bidder) should be considered accurate and complete. However, the final value fee is not yet available.

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

Smallest amount the next bid on the item can be. Returns same value as Item.StartPrice (if no bids have yet been placed) or CurrentPrice plus BidIncrement (if at least one bid has been placed). Only applicable to auction listings. Returns null for fixed-price and Ad type listings.

In multi-variation listings, this value matches the lowest-priced variation that is still available for sale.

In multi-variation listings, this value matches the lowest-priced variation that is still available for sale.

If a seller has reduced the price of a listed item with the Promotional Price Display feature, this field contains the original price of the discounted item, along with the start-time and end-time of the discount.

The total number of items purchased so far (in the listing's lifetime). Subtract this from Quantity to determine the quantity available.

If the listing has Item Variations, then in GetItem (and related calls) and GetItemTransactions, Item.SellingStatus.QuantitySold contains the sum of all quantities sold across all variations in the listing, and Variation.SellingStatus.QuantitySold contains the number of items sold for that variation.

In GetSellerTransactions, Transaction.Item.SellingStatus.QuantitySold contains the number of items sold in that order line item.

For order line item calls, also see Transaction.QuantityPurchased for the number of items purchased in the order line item. In multi-variation listings, this value matches total quantity sold across all variations.

The shipping-related details for an order, including flat and calculated shipping costs and shipping insurance costs.

New users who list their first items in selected categories on the US site must specify at least one domestic shipping service. This applies to a category if GetCategoryFeatures returns true for Category.ShippingTermsRequired.

For multi-quantity, fixed-price listings, a seller can revise all shipping details of the listing (except for sales tax and for shipping type of Freight) for all unsold items. This applies to both domestic and international shipping. Checkout is not affected for those who bought items prior to the seller's shipping changes—the shipping details that were in effect at the time of purchase are used for that buyer at the time of checkout.

Shipping details are not applicable to any classified ad listings, as shipping/delivery/pickup is handled by the buyer and seller off of the eBay platform.

Note: The CalculatedShippingRate container should only be used to specify values for the InternationalPackagingHandlingCosts, OriginatingPostalCode, and/or PackagingHandlingCosts fields. The rest of the fields in the CalculatedShippingRate container are used to specify package dimensions and package weight, and these values should now be specified in the ShippingPackageDetails container instead.

Fees a seller might assess for the shipping of the item (in addition to whatever the shipping service might charge). Any packaging/handling cost specified on input is added to each shipping service on output.

If domestic and international calculated shipping is offered for an item and if packaging/handling cost is specified only for domestic shipping, that cost will be applied by eBay as the international packaging/handling cost. (To specify a international packaging/handling cost, you must always specify a domestic packaging/handling cost, even if it is 0.) For international calculated shipping only.

(To specify a international packaging/handling cost, you must always specify a domestic packaging/handling cost, even if it is 0.) When UPS is one of the shipping services offered by the seller, package dimensions are required on list/relist/revise. For calculated shipping only.

When UPS is one of the shipping services offered by the seller, package dimensions are required on list/relist/revise. For calculated shipping only.

Note: The value for ShippingIrregular should now be specified in the ShippingPackageDetails container instead. If the ShippingIrregular field is passed in the CalculatedShippingRate container and in the ShippingPackageDetails container, the value in the ShippingPackageDetails container will take precedence. This field may be deprecated in the future. This boolean field indicates that the shipping package is considered an irregular shape and/or size by the shipping carrier, and thus requires special handling. For calculated shipping only.

Use this field to specify an international country or region, or a special domestic location, such as 'PO Box' (in US) or 'Packstation' (in DE), to where you will not ship the associated item. Repeat this element in the call request for each location that you want to exclude as a shipping destination for your item.

Set ShipToRegistrationCountry to true to have your ExcludeShipToLocation settings applied to your listing. The locations you have excluded display in the Shipping and Handling section of your item listing.

If a buyer's primary ship-to location is a location that you have listed as an excluded ship-to location (or if the buyer does not have a primary ship-to location), they will receive an error message if they attempt to buy or place a bid on your item.

The exclude ship-to location values are eBay regions and countries. To see the valid exclude ship-to locations for a specified site, call GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ExcludeShippingLocationDetails, and then look for the ExcludeShippingLocationDetails.Location fields in the response. Repeat GeteBayDetails for each site on which you list.

This field works in conjunction with Item.ShipToLocations to create a set of international countries and regions to where you will, and will not, ship. You can list a region in the ShipToLocations field, then exclude specific countries within that region with this field (for example, you can specify Africa in ShipToLocations, yet exclude Chad with a ExcludeShipToLocation setting). In addition, if your ShipToLocations is Worldwide, you can use this field to specify both regions and countries that you want to exclude from your shipping destinations.

You can specify a default set of locations to where you will not ship in My eBay. If you create an Exclude Ship-To List, it is, by default, in effect when you list items. However, if you specify any value in this field on input, it nullifies the default settings in your Exclude Ship-To List. (If you use ExcludeShipToLocation when you list an item, you will need to list all the locations to where you will not ship the associated item, regardless of the default settings in your Exclude Ship-To List.)

Specify none in this field to override the default Exclude Ship-To List you might have set up in My eBay and indicate that you do not want to exclude any shipping locations from the respective item listing.

Indicates whether eBay's Global Shipping Program is offered for the listing. If the value of GlobalShipping is True, international shipping through the Global Shipping Program is available for the listing, and eBay automatically sets one of the available shipping service options to International Priority Shipping. If the value of GlobalShipping is false, the seller is responsible for specifying one or more international shipping service options if the seller is willing to ship internationally.

When calling RelistFixedPriceItem, RelistItem, ReviseFixedPriceItem or ReviseItem, you can omit this field if its value doesn't need to change.

Before using this field for a listing, ensure that the seller and the item being listed are eligible for the Global Shipping Program.

DetailLevel: ItemReturnAttributes, ItemReturnDescription, ReturnAll. Also returned if DetailLevel is not provided on input.

Shipping costs and options related to an international shipping service. If used, at least one domestic shipping service must also be provided in ShippingServiceOptions.

If you specify multiple InternationalShippingServiceOption nodes, the repeating nodes must be contiguous. That is, you cannot insert other nodes between InternationalShippingServiceOption nodes.

All specified domestic and international shipping services must be the same shipping type (for example, Flat versus Calculated).

A seller can offer up to four domestic shipping services and up to five international shipping services. However, if the seller is opted in to the Global Shipping Program, only four other international shipping services may be offered (regardless of whether or not Global Shipping is offered for the listing).

If you specify ShippingDetails when you revise or relist an item but you omit InternationalShippingServiceOption, eBay will drop the international shipping services (except the Global Shipping Program) from the listing. This may also have unintended side effects, as other fields that depend on this data may be dropped as well. To retain the shipping services and dependent fields when you modify other shipping details, it may be simplest to specify all ShippingDetails that you still want to include in the listing.

For GetItemShipping, results are filtered: if any service is not available in the buyer's region, it is removed. If no services remain after this filtering, a warning is returned.

An international shipping service being offered by the seller to ship an item to a buyer. For a list of valid values, call GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ShippingServiceDetails.

To view the full list of International shipping service options in the response, look for the ShippingService fields in the ShippingServiceDetails containers that contain a InternationalService = true field, as this indicates that the ShippingService value is an International shipping service option.

The ShippingServiceDetails.ValidForSellingFlow flag must also be present. Otherwise, that particular shipping service option is no longer valid and cannot be offered to buyers through a listing.

The cost of shipping each additional item if the same buyer purchases multiple quantity of the same line item. This field is required when creating a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing. Generally, the seller will give the buyer a shipping discount if that buyer purchases multiple quantity of the item, so this value should usually be less than the value set for ShippingServiceCost.

The value of this field can even be set to 0 if the seller wants to encourage buyers to buy multiple quantity of the item, or it could be that the seller can fit multiple quantities of the line item in a single shipping package, so the seller is just passing this shipping savings onto the buyer. This field is not applicable for single-quantity listings.

The cost of shipping each additional item if the same buyer purchases multiple quantity of the same line item. This field is required when creating a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing. Generally, the seller will give the buyer a shipping discount if that buyer purchases multiple quantity of the item, so this value should usually be less than the value set for ShippingServiceCost.

The value of this field can even be set to 0 if the seller wants to encourage buyers to buy multiple quantity of the item, or it could be that the seller can fit multiple quantities of the line item in a single shipping package, so the seller is just passing this shipping savings onto the buyer. This field is not applicable for single-quantity listings.

The base cost of shipping the item using the shipping service specified in the ShippingService field. In the case of a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing, the ShippingServiceAdditionalCost field shows the cost to ship each additional item if the buyer purchases multiple quantity of the same line item.

When returned by GetItemShipping, it includes the packaging and handling cost. For flat and calculated shipping.

If a shipping service has been specified (even LocalPickup), GetItem returns the shipping service cost, even if the cost is zero. Otherwise, cost is not returned.

If this is for calculated shipping for a listing that has not yet ended, note that the cost cannot be determined until the listing has ended and the buyer has specified a postal code.

For GetItemShipping, promotional shipping savings is reflected in the cost, if applicable. If the promotional shipping option is lower than other shipping services being offered, the savings is reflected in the returned shipping cost. The shipping service named Promotional Shipping Service (or whatever is the localized name for it) is included among the shipping services. If the promotional shipping cost is lower than the cost of other shipping services being offered, it is presented first in the list. (The LOWEST shipping service cost is always presented first, regardless of whether there is promotional shipping.)

The base cost of shipping the item using the shipping service specified in the ShippingService field. In the case of a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing, the ShippingServiceAdditionalCost field shows the cost to ship each additional item if the buyer purchases multiple quantity of the same line item.

When returned by GetItemShipping, it includes the packaging and handling cost. For flat and calculated shipping.

If a shipping service has been specified (even LocalPickup), GetItem returns the shipping service cost, even if the cost is zero. Otherwise, cost is not returned.

If this is for calculated shipping for a listing that has not yet ended, note that the cost cannot be determined until the listing has ended and the buyer has specified a postal code.

For GetItemShipping, promotional shipping savings is reflected in the cost, if applicable. If the promotional shipping option is lower than other shipping services being offered, the savings is reflected in the returned shipping cost. The shipping service named Promotional Shipping Service (or whatever is the localized name for it) is included among the shipping services. If the promotional shipping cost is lower than the cost of other shipping services being offered, it is presented first in the list. (The LOWEST shipping service cost is always presented first, regardless of whether there is promotional shipping.)

This integer value controls the order (relative to other shipping services) in which the corresponding ShippingService will appear in the View Item and Checkout page. Sellers can specify up to five international shipping services (with five InternationalShippingServiceOption containers), so valid values are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. A shipping service with a ShippingServicePriority value of 1 appears at the top. Conversely, a shipping service with a ShippingServicePriority value of 5 appears at the bottom of a list of five shipping service options. If the Global Shipping Program is enabled on the listing for international shipping, only four additional shipping services may be specified.

An international location or region to where the item seller will ship the item.

Use GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ShippingLocationDetails to determine which locations are valid per site. In the GeteBayDetails response, look for the ShippingLocationDetails.ShippingLocation fields.

For the AddItem family of calls, this field is required if any international shipping service is specified.

For GetOrders, GetOrderTransactions, and GetItemTransactions only: If using Trading WSDL Version 1019 or above, ShipToLocation fields will only be returned to the buyer or seller, and no longer returned at all to third parties. If using a Trading WSDL older than Version 1019, ShipToLocation fields are only returned to the buyer or seller, and a string value of Unavailable will be returned to all third parties.

This container is used to reference and apply a seller's specific domestic and/or international shipping rate tables to a listing. Shipping rate tables allow sellers to configure specific shipping costs based on the shipping destinations and level of service (e.g. economy, standard, expedite, and one-day). Generally speaking, sellers want to use these shipping rate tables so they can charge a higher shipping cost to the buyer whenever shipping costs are higher for them as well. For example, shipping to Alaska or Hawaii is generally more expensive than shipping to any other of the 48 US states, or in regards to international shipping, shipping to some regions and countries are more expensive than others.

For domestic shipping rate tables, the three supported domestic regions are Alaska & Hawaii, US Protectorates (e.g. Puerto Rico and Guam), and APO/FPO destinations, which are US military bases/locations outside of the continental US. In addition to setting one flat rate based on the destination and service level, the seller also has the option of adding an extra charge based on the weight of the shipping package, or they can add a surcharge instead. To determine if a domestic shipping rate table is set up for the seller's account, the GetUser call can be used, and then the seller will look for a value of true in the User.SellerInfo.DomesticRateTable field. Although the GetUser call can be used to see if a domestic shipping rate table exists for the seller's account, details of the shipping rate table, including all specified costs for the different regions, can only be viewed and modified in My eBay Shipping Preferences. This functionality is not yet available in any public APIs.

For international shipping rate tables, specific rates may be set up for any and all of the nine geographical regions and individual countries within those regions. Similar to domestic shipping rate tables, the seller has the option of adding an extra charge based on the weight of the shipping package. Sellers cannot add a surcharge for international shipping. To determine if a international shipping rate table is set up for the seller's account, the GetUser call can be used, and then the seller will look for a value of true in the User.SellerInfo.InternationalRateTable field. Although the GetUser call can be used to see if an international shipping rate table exists for the seller's account, details of the shipping rate table, including all specified costs for the different regions/countries, can only be viewed and modified in My eBay Shipping Preferences. This functionality is not yet available in any public APIs.

If you are applying a domestic or international shipping rate table that specifies a surcharge by weight, you must specify the item weight in the ShippingPackageDetails container's WeightMajor and WeightMinor fields, even though the listing is using flat-rate shipping. Do not use any other fields in the ShippingPackageDetails container because none of those fields are applicable in this use case.

This container is only returned in the 'Get' calls if one or more shipping rate tables have been applied to the listing, and if the call is being made by the seller who listed the item.

Note: The capability to create and use multiple domestic and international shipping rate tables (up to 20 per seller account) has rolled out to the US and Australia sites. This capability will also roll out to the UK and Germany sites later in Summer 2017. Currently, for sites other than the US and Australia, only one domestic and one international shipping rate table may be set up per seller. Whether a seller is using the old default domestic and international shipping rate tables or the new shipping rate tables, these shipping rate tables are set up in My eBay Shipping Preferences or as part of a Shipping Business Policy. If using the Trading API to create a listing that will use the new shipping rate tables, the DomesticRateTableId and InternationalRateTableId fields (added for Version 1019) are used to reference and apply these new shipping rate tables to the listing. If desired, sellers can still use the old default shipping rate tables, but they are not allowed to mix and match old and new shipping rate tables, meaning that they will get an error if they pass in both the old fields (DomesticRateTable and InternationalRateTable) and the new fields ( DomesticRateTableId and InternationalRateTableId). The new shipping rate tables have all of the functionality of the old shipping rate tables, plus the seller has access to all domestic regions and not just the special regions (such as Alaska & Hawaii, US Protectorates, and APO/FPO locations in US).

This field is used in an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call to apply the domestic shipping rate table to the listing. Domestic rate tables can be used only for items listed on the eBay US, UK, DE, and AU sites.

In all cases, sellers pass in a string value of Default to apply the domestic shipping rate table. The shipping rates and/or surcharges set up in the domestic shipping rate table will only be applicable based on the location of the buyer, and if that shipping service level is covered in one of the specified shipping service options in the listing. Basically, domestic shipping costs and surcharges are set in one or more ShippingServiceOptions containers in the listing, and based on the settings and costs in the domestic shipping rate table, these shipping costs and/or surcharges may be overridden based on the buyer's location. For example, if the buyer lives in Alaska, and the domestic shipping rate table has one or more shipping rates set up for the Alaska & Hawaii domestic region, the buyer will see these rates in the View Item page and not the rates/costs that are defined in the ShippingServiceOptions containers.

If a seller is revising or relisting an item, the domestic shipping rate table can be unassociated from the listing by using the empty tag: <DomesticRateTable />

This field is returned in the 'Get' calls if a domestic rate table is being applied to the listing, and it is only returned for the seller who listed the item.

Note: The capability to create and use multiple domestic and international shipping rate tables (up to 20 per seller account) has rolled out to the US and Australia sites. This capability will also roll out to the UK and Germany sites later in Summer 2017. Currently, for sites other than the US and Australia, only one domestic and one international shipping rate table may be set up per seller. Whether a seller is using the old default domestic and international shipping rate tables or the new shipping rate tables, these shipping rate tables are set up in My eBay Shipping Preferences or as part of a Shipping Business Policy. If using the Trading API to create a listing that will use the new shipping rate tables, the DomesticRateTableId and InternationalRateTableId fields (added for Version 1019) are used to reference and apply these new shipping rate tables to the listing. If desired, sellers can still use the old default shipping rate tables, but they are not allowed to mix and match old and new shipping rate tables, meaning that they will get an error if they pass in both the old fields (DomesticRateTable and InternationalRateTable) and the new fields ( DomesticRateTableId and InternationalRateTableId). The new shipping rate tables have all of the functionality of the old shipping rate tables, plus the seller has access to all domestic regions and not just the special regions (such as Alaska & Hawaii, US Protectorates, and APO/FPO locations in US).Max length: 50.

Note: This field was added in Version 1019 and it is ready for use on the US and Australia sites. The feature will be wired on for the UK and Germany sites later in Summer 2017. The unique shipping rate identifiers that will be passed into this field can only be retrieved using the getRateTables call of the Account API. This field is included in an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call if the seller wants to apply a customized domestic shipping rate table to the listing. The string value that is supplied in this field is the unique identifier of the shipping rate table. The seller must use the getRateTables call of the Account API to retrieve these eBay-generated shipping rate table identifiers, as these identifiers are not shown in the Shipping Rate Tables UI. If the DomesticRateTableId field is used, the seller must make sure that the DomesticRateTable and InternationalRateTable fields are not used, as the old and new rate tables cannot be used together or an error will occur.

In domestic shipping rate tables, sellers customize the flat-rate cost of shipping based on shipping destination (region/state/province) and shipping service level (one-day, expedited, standard, economy in US). In addition to setting one flat rate based on the destination and service level, the seller also has the option of adding an extra charge based on the weight of the shipping package, or they can add a surcharge instead.

If the seller is using the Revise or Relist call, they must include the DomesticRateTableId field or the domestic shipping rate table currently being applied to the listing will be unassociated from the listing. If they want to continue using the same domestic shipping rate table, the seller will pass in this identifier. The seller can also change the domestic shipping rate table by passing in the identifier for a different domestic shipping rate table.

This field is returned in the 'Get' calls if a customized domestic rate table is being applied to the listing, and it is only returned for the seller who listed the item.

Note: The capability to create and use multiple domestic and international shipping rate tables (up to 20 per seller account) has rolled out to the US and Australia sites. This capability will also roll out to the UK and Germany sites later in Summer 2017. Currently, for sites other than the US and Australia, only one domestic and one international shipping rate table may be set up per seller. Whether a seller is using the old default domestic and international shipping rate tables or the new shipping rate tables, these shipping rate tables are set up in My eBay Shipping Preferences or as part of a Shipping Business Policy. If using the Trading API to create a listing that will use the new shipping rate tables, the DomesticRateTableId and InternationalRateTableId fields (added for Version 1019) are used to reference and apply these new shipping rate tables to the listing. If desired, sellers can still use the old default shipping rate tables, but they are not allowed to mix and match old and new shipping rate tables, meaning that they will get an error if they pass in both the old fields (DomesticRateTable and InternationalRateTable) and the new fields ( DomesticRateTableId and InternationalRateTableId). The new shipping rate tables have all of the functionality of the old shipping rate tables, plus the seller has access to all domestic regions and not just the special regions (such as Alaska & Hawaii, US Protectorates, and APO/FPO locations in US).Max length: 50.

This field is used in an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call to apply the international shipping rate table to the listing. Domestic rate tables can be used only for items listed on the eBay US, UK, and DE sites.

In all cases, sellers pass in a string value of Default to apply the international shipping rate table. The shipping rates set up in the international shipping rate table will only be applicable based on the location of the buyer, and if that shipping service level is covered in one of the specified international shipping service options in the listing. Basically, international shipping costs are set in one or more InternationalShippingServiceOption containers in the listing, and based on the settings and costs in the international shipping rate table, these shipping costs may be overridden based on the buyer's location. For example, if the buyer lives in Argentina, and the international shipping rate table has one or more shipping rates set up for the country of Argentina, the buyer will see these rates in the View Item page and not the rates/costs that are defined in the InternationalShippingServiceOption containers.

If a seller is revising or relisting an item, the international shipping rate table can be unassociated from the listing by using the empty tag: <InternationalRateTable />

This field is returned in the 'Get' calls if an international rate table is being applied to the listing, and it is only returned for the seller who listed the item.

Note: The capability to create and use multiple domestic and international shipping rate tables (up to 20 per seller account) has rolled out to the US and Australia sites. This capability will also roll out to the UK and Germany sites later in Summer 2017. Currently, for sites other than the US and Australia, only one domestic and one international shipping rate table may be set up per seller. Whether a seller is using the old default domestic and international shipping rate tables or the new shipping rate tables, these shipping rate tables are set up in My eBay Shipping Preferences or as part of a Shipping Business Policy. If using the Trading API to create a listing that will use the new shipping rate tables, the DomesticRateTableId and InternationalRateTableId fields (added for Version 1019) are used to reference and apply these new shipping rate tables to the listing. If desired, sellers can still use the old default shipping rate tables, but they are not allowed to mix and match old and new shipping rate tables, meaning that they will get an error if they pass in both the old fields (DomesticRateTable and InternationalRateTable) and the new fields ( DomesticRateTableId and InternationalRateTableId). The new shipping rate tables have all of the functionality of the old shipping rate tables, plus the seller has access to all domestic regions and not just the special regions (such as Alaska & Hawaii, US Protectorates, and APO/FPO locations in US).Max length: 50.

Note: This field was added in Version 1019 and it is ready for use on the US and Australia sites. The feature will be wired on for the UK and Germany sites later in Summer 2017. The unique shipping rate identifiers that will be passed into this field can only be retrieved using the getRateTables call of the Account API. This field is included in an Add/Revise/Relist/Verify call if the seller wants to apply a customized international shipping rate table to the listing. The string value that is supplied in this field is the unique identifier of the shipping rate table. The seller must use the "Get Rate Tables" call of the Account API to retrieve these eBay-generated shipping rate table identifiers, as these identifiers are not shown in the Shipping Rate Tables UI. If the InternationalRateTableId field is used, the seller must make sure that the DomesticRateTable and InternationalRateTable fields are not used, as the old and new rate tables cannot be used together or an error will occur.

In international shipping rate tables, sellers customize the flat-rate cost of shipping based on shipping destination (continent/region/country) and shipping service level (expedited, standard, economy in US). In addition to setting one flat rate based on the destination and service level, the seller also has the option of adding an extra charge based on the weight of the shipping package. Unlike domestic shipping, sellers cannot add a surcharge for international shipping.

If the seller is using the Revise or Relist call, they must include the InternationalRateTableId field or the international shipping rate table currently being applied to the listing will be unassociated from the listing. If they want to continue using the same international shipping rate table, the seller will pass in this identifier. The seller can also change the international shipping rate table by passing in the identifier for a different international shipping rate table.

This field is returned in the 'Get' calls if a customized international rate table is being applied to the listing, and it is only returned for the seller who listed the item.

Note: The capability to create and use multiple domestic and international shipping rate tables (up to 20 per seller account) has rolled out to the US and Australia sites. This capability will also roll out to the UK and Germany sites later in Summer 2017. Currently, for sites other than the US and Australia, only one domestic and one international shipping rate table may be set up per seller.

The new shipping rate tables have all of the functionality of the old shipping rate tables, plus the seller has access to all domestic regions and not just the special regions (such as Alaska & Hawaii, US Protectorates, and APO/FPO locations in US).Max length: 50.

Sellers can set up a global Exclude Ship-To List through their My eBay account. The Exclude Ship-To List defines the countries to where the seller does not ship, by default.

This flag returns true if the Exclude Ship-To List is enabled by the seller for the associated item. If false, the seller's Exclude Ship-To List is either not set up, or it has been overridden by the seller when they listed the item with ExcludeShipToLocation fields.

In the response, ExcludeShipToLocation fields detail the locations to where the seller will not ship the item, regardless of the value returned in this field.

Shipping costs and options related to domestic shipping services offered by the seller. Flat and calculated shipping. Required if InternationalShippingServiceOption is specified.

For flat shipping, a maximum shipping cost may apply when listing. See Shipping documentation for details about Maximum Flat Rate Shipping Costs.

If you specify multiple ShippingServiceOptions nodes, the repeating nodes must be contiguous. For example, you can insert InternationalShippingServiceOption nodes after a list of repeating ShippingServiceOptions nodes, but not between them:

If you specify ShippingDetails when you revise or relist an item but you omit ShippingServiceOptions, eBay will drop the domestic shipping services from the listing. This may also have unintended side effects, as other fields that depend on this data may be dropped as well.

To retain the shipping services and dependent fields when you modify other shipping details, it may be simplest to specify all ShippingDetails that you still want to include in the listing.

A seller can offer up to four domestic shipping services and up to five international shipping services. However, if the seller is opted in to the Global Shipping Program, only four other international shipping services may be offered (regardless of whether or not Global Shipping is offered for the listing). All specified domestic and international shipping services must be the same shipping type (for example, Flat versus Calculated).

For GetItemShipping, results are filtered: if any service is not available in the buyer's region, it is removed. If no services remain after this filtering, a warning is returned.

A shipping service option being offered by the seller to ship an item to a buyer. For a list of valid ShippingService values, call GeteBayDetails with DetailName set to ShippingServiceDetails. The ShippingServiceDetails.ValidForSellingFlow flag must also be present. Otherwise, that particular shipping service option is no longer valid and cannot be offered to buyers through a listing.

To view the full list of domestic shipping service options in the response, look for the ShippingServiceDetails.ShippingService fields. Domestic shipping service options will not have a InternationalService = true field, as this indicates that the ShippingService value is an International shipping service option.

For flat and calculated shipping.

If there are two or more services and one is "pickup", "pickup" must not be specified as the first service.

The cost of shipping each additional item if the same buyer purchases multiple quantity of the same line item. This field is required when creating a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing. Generally, the seller will give the buyer a shipping discount if that buyer purchases multiple quantity of the item, so this value should usually be less than the value set for ShippingServiceCost.

The value of this field can even be set to 0 if the seller wants to encourage buyers to buy multiple quantity of the item, or it could be that the seller can fit multiple quantities of the line item in a single shipping package, so the seller is just passing this shipping savings onto the buyer. This field is not applicable for single-quantity listings.

This field is not applicable for single-quantity listings.

The base cost of shipping the item using the shipping service specified in the ShippingService field. In the case of a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing, the ShippingServiceAdditionalCost field shows the cost to ship each additional item if the buyer purchases multiple quantity of the same line item.

When returned by GetItemShipping, it includes the packaging and handling cost. For flat and calculated shipping.

If a shipping service has been specified (even LocalPickup), GetItem returns the shipping service cost, even if the cost is zero. Otherwise, cost is not returned.

If this is for calculated shipping for a listing that has not yet ended, note that the cost cannot be determined until the listing has ended and the buyer has specified a postal code.

For GetItemShipping, promotional shipping savings is reflected in the cost, if applicable.

If the promotional shipping option is lower than other shipping services being offered, the savings is reflected in the returned shipping cost. The shipping service named Promotional Shipping Service (or whatever is the localized name for it) is included among the shipping services.

If the promotional shipping cost is lower than the cost of other shipping services being offered, it is presented first in the list. (The LOWEST shipping service cost is always presented first, regardless of whether there is promotional shipping.)

The base cost of shipping the item using the shipping service specified in the ShippingService field. In the case of a multiple-quantity, fixed-price listing, the ShippingServiceAdditionalCost field shows the cost to ship each additional item if the buyer purchases multiple quantity of the same line item.

When returned by GetItemShipping, it includes the packaging and handling cost. For flat and calculated shipping.

If a shipping service has been specified (even LocalPickup), GetItem returns the shipping service cost, even if the cost is zero. Otherwise, cost is not returned.

If this is for calculated shipping for a listing that has not yet ended, note that the cost cannot be determined until the listing has ended and the buyer has specified a postal code.

For GetItemShipping, promotional shipping savings is reflected in the cost, if applicable.

If the promotional shipping option is lower than other shipping services being offered, the savings is reflected in the returned shipping cost. The shipping service named Promotional Shipping Service (or whatever is the localized name for it) is included among the shipping services.

If the promotional shipping cost is lower than the cost of other shipping services being offered, it is presented first in the list. (The LOWEST shipping service cost is always presented first, regardless of whether there is promotional shipping.)

Controls the order (relative to other shipping services) in which the corresponding ShippingService will appear in the View Item and Checkout page.

Sellers can specify up to four domestic shipping services (with four ShippingServiceOptions containers), so valid values are 1, 2, 3, and 4. A shipping service with a ShippingServicePriority value of 1 appears at the top. Conversely, a shipping service with a ShippingServicePriority value of 4 appears at the bottom of a list of four shipping service options.

An additional fee to charge US buyers who have the item shipped via UPS or FedEx to Alaska, Hawaii or Puerto Rico. Can only be assigned a value for the eBay US site and for items in the Parts and Accessories category of the eBay Motors site. Only returned if set. If some line items in an order have a surcharge, surcharge is added only for those line items. Flat rate shipping only.

Can only be assigned a value for the eBay US site and for items in the Parts and Accessories category of the eBay Motors site. Only returned if set. If some line items in an order have a surcharge, surcharge is added only for those line items. Flat rate shipping only.

The integer value returned here indicates the maximum number of business days that the shipping service (indicated in the corresponding ShippingService field) will take to be delivered to the buyer.

This maximum shipping time does not include the seller's handling time, and the clock starts on the shipping time only after the seller has delivered the item to the shipping carrier for shipment to the buyer. 'Business days' can vary by shipping carrier and by country, but 'business days' are generally Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. This field is returned if defined for that particular shipping service option.

The integer value returned here indicates the minimum number of business days that the shipping service (indicated in the corresponding ShippingService field) will take to be delivered to the buyer.

This minimum shipping time does not include the seller's handling time, and the clock starts on the shipping time only after the seller has delivered the item to the shipping carrier for shipment to the buyer. 'Business days' can vary by shipping carrier and by country, but 'business days' are generally Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. This field is returned if defined for that particular shipping service option.

For GetTaxTable: If DetailLevel is not specified, information is returned only for the jurisdictions for which the user provided tax information. If DetailLevel is ReturnAll, tax information is returned for all possible jurisdictions, whether specified by the user or not. ShippingIncludedInTax and SalesTaxPercent are returned, but are empty.

The tax percent to apply for a listing shipped to this jurisdiction. The value passed in is stored with a precision of 3 digits after the decimal point (##.###). For GetTaxTable: this tag has no value if the user's tax table has not been set.

DetailLevel: ReturnAll. Also returned if DetailLevel is not provided on input.

This container is used when the seller wants to override the flat shipping costs for all domestic and/or all international shipping services defined in the Business Policies shipping profile referenced in the SellerProfiles.SellerShippingProfile.ShippingProfileID field. Shipping costs include the cost to ship one item, the cost to ship each additional identical item, and any shipping surcharges applicable to domestic shipping services.

A ShippingServiceCostOverrideList.ShippingServiceCostOverride container is required for each domestic and/or international shipping service that is defined in the domesticShippingPolicyInfoService and intlShippingPolicyInfoService containers of the Business Policies shipping profile.

Shipping service cost overrides are a listing-level concept, and the shipping costs specified through each ShippingServiceCostOverrideList.ShippingServiceCostOverride container will not change the shipping costs defined for the same shipping services in the Business Policies shipping profile.

For Revise and Relist calls: To delete all shipping service cost overrides when you revise or relist, specify Item.ShippingServiceCostOverrideList in DeletedField, and don't pass ShippingServiceCostOverrideList in the request.

A ShippingServiceCostOverride container is required for each domestic and/or international shipping service that is defined in the domesticShippingPolicyInfoService and intlShippingPolicyInfoService containers of the Business Policies shipping profile. Shipping costs include the cost to ship one item, the cost to ship each additional identical item, and any shipping surcharges applicable to domestic shipping services.

Shipping service cost overrides are a listing-level concept, and the shipping costs specified through each ShippingServiceCostOverride container will not change the shipping costs defined for the same shipping services in the Business Policies shipping profile.

To override the shipping costs for each domestic shipping service in the Business Policies shipping profile, the ShippingServiceType field should be set to 'Domestic', and to override the shipping costs for each international shipping service, the ShippingServiceType field should be set to 'International'. For both domestic and international shipping services, the ShippingServicePriority value should match the sortOrderId value for the matching shipping service in the shipping profile. If any of the domestic and/or international shipping service priorities and shipping service options in the Add/Revise/Relist call and Business Policies shipping profile do not match, an error occurs.

If shipping service cost overrides are used in a listing, the ShippingServiceCostOverride container will be returned in the GetSellerList and GetSellingManagerTemplates calls.

An international location or region to which the seller is willing to ship, regardless of shipping service. The country of the listing site is added by eBay. Use GeteBayDetails with a DetailName of ShippingLocationDetails to determine which international locations are valid for the site. Omit ShipToLocations if you want to ship only within the country of the listing site. To state that you do not wish to ship at all, set ShipToLocations to None. ReviseItem can add a ShipToLocations. On output, ShipToLocations is the collection of all input item-level ShipToLocations plus international shipping service-level ShipToLocation values.

If you have specified a region to which you will ship (such as Asia), you can use ExcludeShipToLocation to exclude certain countries within that region to where you will not ship (such as Afghanistan).Max length: length of longest name in ShippingRegionCodeType and CountryCodeType.

The name of the site on which the item is listed. The listing site affects the business logic and validation rules that are applied to the request, which in turn affect the values that are returned in the response, as well as values that appear on the eBay site. For example, the listing site can affect the validation of Category in listing requests, international business seller requirements, the values of converted (localized) prices in responses, the item-related time stamps that are displayed on the eBay site, the visibility of the item in some types of searches (e.g., GetCategoryListings), and other information. In some cases, the rules are determined by a combination of the site, the user's registration address, and other information. You cannot change the site when you revise a listing.

When you specify Item.Site in AddItem or AddFixedPriceItem, it must be consistent with the numeric site ID that you specify in the request URL (for the SOAP API) or the X-EBAY- API-SITEID header (for the XML API).

Applicable values: See Site.
Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

A SKU (Stock Keeping Unit) value is a seller-defined identifier for a product. Each product within a seller's inventory should be unique. Most large-volume sellers use SKUs, but eBay only requires a SKU value if the InventoryTrackingMethod field is included in an AddFixedPriceItem call and its value is set to SKU. Setting the InventoryTrackingMethod field to SKU allows the seller to use a SKU value instead of an ItemID value as a unique identifier in calls such as GetItem and ReviseInventoryStatus

A seller can specify a SKU when listing an item with AddItem and related calls. eBay preserves the SKU on the item, enabling you to obtain it before and after an order line item is created. (SKU is recommended as an alternative to ApplicationData.)

If both ItemID and SKU are specified in calls that support the use of SKU as a unique identifier, the ItemID value takes precedence.

For multiple-variation listings, a SKU value is actually required for each product variation within the listing. However, the SKU value for each product variation is actually specified at the variation level (Item.Variations.Variation.SKU) field, and the Item.SKU) field should not be included in the call request.

Note: The eBay site cannot identify listings by SKU. For example, My eBay pages and Search pages all identify listings by item ID. When a buyer contacts you via eBay's messaging functionality, eBay uses the item ID as the identifier. Buyer-focused APIs (like the Shopping API) also do not support SKU as an identifier. For revising and relisting only: To remove a SKU when you revise or relist an item, use DeletedField. (You cannot remove a SKU when Item.InventoryTrackingMethod is set to SKU.)

For GetItem, GetMyeBaySelling, and other 'Get' call, the SKU value will only be returned if defined for the listing.

The original price of the item at listing or re-listing time. If this value changes when the item is revised, the new value becomes the original price.

For auction listings: Competitive bidding starts at this value. Once at least one bid has been placed, StartPrice remains the same but CurrentPrice is incremented to the amount of each succeeding bid. If ReservePrice is also specified, the value of StartPrice must be lower than the value of ReservePrice.

For input on fixed-price listings (FixedPriceItem): This is the constant price at which a buyer may purchase the item.

For AddFixedPriceItem and VerifyAddFixedPriceItem: Required when no variations are specified. If variations are specified, use Variation.StartPrice for each variation instead.

For Revise calls: If the StartPrice value for a fixed-price item is changed with a Revise call, the MinimumBestOfferPrice and BestOfferAutoAcceptPrice fields in the ListingDetails container will be dropped (if set), basically turning off the Best Offer Auto Accept and/or Auto Decline features. If the seller wanted to reintroduce either of these Best Offer threshold values in the listing again, an additional Revise call would have to be made, passing in the desired threshold values.

Note: For the US site, new eBay sellers are subject to Seller Limits, which limit the quantity of items that may be listed and/or the total cumulative value of these listings. While subject to these selling limits, an eBay seller can use the GetMyeBaySelling call to retrieve both the remaining number of listings they can create and the remaining cumulative value of these listings. These values are shown in the Summary.QuantityLimitRemaining and Summary.AmountLimitRemaining fields in the GetMyeBaySelling response. If a call to add an item or revise an item would result in the exceeding of these limits, the add item or revise item call will fail. These fields will only be returned if the seller is subject to seller limits.

The original price of the item at listing or re-listing time. If this value changes when the item is revised, the new value becomes the original price.

For auction listings: Competitive bidding starts at this value. Once at least one bid has been placed, StartPrice remains the same but CurrentPrice is incremented to the amount of each succeeding bid. If ReservePrice is also specified, the value of StartPrice must be lower than the value of ReservePrice.

For input on fixed-price listings (FixedPriceItem): This is the constant price at which a buyer may purchase the item.

For AddFixedPriceItem and VerifyAddFixedPriceItem: Required when no variations are specified. If variations are specified, use Variation.StartPrice for each variation instead.

For Revise calls: If the StartPrice value for a fixed-price item is changed with a Revise call, the MinimumBestOfferPrice and BestOfferAutoAcceptPrice fields in the ListingDetails container will be dropped (if set), basically turning off the Best Offer Auto Accept and/or Auto Decline features. If the seller wanted to reintroduce either of these Best Offer threshold values in the listing again, an additional Revise call would have to be made, passing in the desired threshold values.

Note: For the US site, new eBay sellers are subject to Seller Limits, which limit the quantity of items that may be listed and/or the total cumulative value of these listings. While subject to these selling limits, an eBay seller can use the GetMyeBaySelling call to retrieve both the remaining number of listings they can create and the remaining cumulative value of these listings. These values are shown in the Summary.QuantityLimitRemaining and Summary.AmountLimitRemaining fields in the GetMyeBaySelling response. If a call to add an item or revise an item would result in the exceeding of these limits, the add item or revise item call will fail. These fields will only be returned if the seller is subject to seller limits.

Unique identifier of a primary custom category in which to list the item. A custom category is a category that the seller created in their eBay Store. eBay Store sellers can create up to three levels of custom categories for their stores, but the API only supports root-level categories.

To list an item using the categories in a seller's store, you must set this field to a root-level custom category or a custom category that has no child categories (subcategories). If you attempt to list an item in a category that has subcategories, the call response contains a warning, and the item is listed in the 'Other' store category.

Time left before the listing ends. The duration is represented in the ISO 8601 duration format (PnYnMnDTnHnMnS). See Data Types in the Trading API Guide for information about this format. For ended listings, the time left is PT0S (zero seconds).

Name of the item as it appears in the listing or search results. Required for most items. Optional if you list in Books, Music, Movies, or Video Games categories and you use Pre-filled Item Information (as the title can be pre-filled based on the catalog product title). That is, optional if you specify Item.ProductListingDetails.

You cannot use HTML or JavaScript in the Title. (HTML characters will be interpreted literally as plain text.)

The listing title can only be changed if the active listing has yet to have any bids or sales, and the listing does not end within 12 hours.Max length: 80.

Variations are multiple similar (but not identical) items in a single fixed-price listing. For example, a T-shirt listing could contain multiple items of the same brand that vary by color and size (like "Blue, Large" and "Black, Medium"). Each variation specifies a combination of one of these colors and sizes. Each variation can have a different quantity and price. You can buy multiple items from one variation at the same time. (That is, one order line item can contain multiple items from a single variation.)

If you list in two categories, both categories must support listing with variations. See VariationsEnabled in GetCategoryFeatures to determine applicable categories.

For ReviseFixedPriceItem and RelistFixedPriceItem: Once a listing has been submitted with variations, you can't delete all the variations when you revise or relist the listing (because it would be considered a different listing). You also can't add or change variation specifics (because they are unique identifiers). However, you can delete or replace individual variations as needed to match your current inventory. If a variation has no purchases, use the Variation.Delete field to delete the variation. If it has inventory, set the Quantity to 0.

As a best practice, if you want to revise multiple variations in the same listing at the same time (i.e., within a very short period), use a single ReviseFixedPriceItem request and include all the variation revisions in the same request. If your application design requires you to revise each variation individually, then avoid using multiple parallel threads. Instead, use a serial, synchronous process. That is, wait until each revision has been processed by eBay before submitting the next revision request for another variation in the same listing.

For GetItem and related calls Only returned when a listing has variations.

For GetSellerList: Only returned when a listing has variations, IncludeVariations was set to true in the request, the DetailLevel was set to ReturnAll, and an applicable pagination value and time range were specified.

For GetItemTransactions Only returned in Item when a listing has variations and IncludeVariations was set to true in the request. (Also see Variation returned in Transaction for information about which variation was actually purchased.)

For GetSellerEvents, GetMyeBayBuying, and GetMyeBaySelling: Only returned when a listing has variations and HideVariations was set to false or not specified in the request.

Contains data that distinguishes one item variation from another. For example, if an item varies by color and size, each Variation node specifies a combination of one of those colors and sizes.

When listing or relisting an item, you are allowed to create a listing with only one item variation, and you might have a plan to add more item variations to the listing in the future. However, if you don't plan to add other item variations in the future, we recommend that you avoid listing with only one variation, so that you avoid confusing buyers.

If you specify multiple Variation containers in an add/revise/relist/verify add call to define multiple item variations, the Variation containers must be contiguous or an error will occur. This means that you would not want to input a Pictures or a VariationSpecificsSet container in between Variation containers in an API call.

When you modify an item variation with a ReviseFixedPriceItem call, the best practice is to include all applicable fields under the Variation container, even if some of the values/settings are not being modified. The StartPrice and VariationSpecifics must be included when modifying an existing item variation, even if these values are not being changed. If a SKU value is defined for the item variation, it is strongly recommended that you include the SKU field, regardless of whether the SKU value is changing or not. If the SKU field is not included, any existing SKU value will be removed from the item variation. It is also strongly recommended that you include the Quantity field and input an accurate value, because if the Quantity field is omitted in the API call, the quantity for the item variation is set to 0.

This value indicates the quantity of items in the specific variation that are available for purchase. If you set Variation.Quantity to 0 when you create, revise, or relist an item listing, the variation is dropped from the listing. To prevent this, you can set SetUserPreferences.OutOfStockControlPreference to true.

For GetItem (and other related calls that retrieve the Item object), the Variation.Quantity value indicates the total number of items associated with the variation, including the quantity available and the quantity sold. To calculate the quantity available for sale, subtract SellingStatus.QuantitySold from this value.

For RelistFixedPriceItem:

For an item variation that had an available quantity greater than 0 when the listing ended, the Quantity value of the item variation for the newly relisted item is set to the actual quantity available. For item variations, there is actually no QuantityAvailable field, but this value may be derived if you look at the corresponding item variation in a GetMyeBaySelling) response and subtract the Variation.QuantitySold value from the Variation.Quantity value, which represents the original Variation.Quantity value at creation time of the previous listing.

For item variations with an available quantity of 0 when the listing ended, the relisted item will retain the Variaton.Quantity value that was passed in at creation time of the previous listing.

So, if you are relisting an item that had one or more item variations with an available quantity of 0 when the listing ended, we strongly recommend that you pass in the correct available quantity through the corresponding Variation.Quantity field of a relist call. Alternatively, you can update the correct quantity available by using a ReviseInventoryStatus call and passing in a Quantity value, while also making sure to pass in the correct SKU value(s) to identify the correct item variation. A ReviseInventoryStatus call can be used to revise the quantity of up to four single item listings and/or item variations (from the same or different listings).

For ReviseFixedPriceItem: You can revise a variation's quantity at any time, even if it has purchases. However, unless you set the OutOfStockControlPreference boolean field of the SetUserPreferences call to true, at least one variation must remain with a non-zero quantity in order for the listing to remain active. If you set the OutOfStockControlPreference field to true, a multiple-variation listing will remain active but hidden from search even if the quantity of all variations in the listing is set to 0. When you modify a variation during revise or relist, you need to include both its StartPrice and Quantity. If you revise the Quantity value for a variation after items have already sold, specify the quantity available for sale. (eBay will automatically add the quantity sold to the value you specify.) If you set the quantity to 0 and the variation has no purchases, the variation may be dropped from the listing.

For GetSellerTransactions: See Item.Quantityinstead.

See the eBay Features Guide for more details about setting and modifying a variation's quantity.

Note: The number in the Variation.Quantity field represents the current quantity of the item variation that is available using the "Ship to home" fulfillment method. This number does not take into account any quantity of the item variation that is available through "local" fulfillment methods such as In-Store Pickup, eBay Now, or Click and Collect. This is due to the fact that there is no current implementation (or API field) where the seller informs eBay about the quantity of item variations available through each local fulfillment method. In the case where a listing is only offering the item variations through a local fulfillment method, this value should default to 0, and the Item.IgnoreQuantity will also be returned as True.

For ended auction listings that have a winning bidder, this field is a container for the high bidder's user ID. For ended, single-item, fixed-price listings, this field is a container for the user ID of the purchaser. This field isn't returned for auctions with no bids, or for active fixed-price listings.

In the case of PlaceOffer, for auction listings, this field is a container for the high bidder's user ID. In the PlaceOffer response, the following applies: For multiple-quantity, fixed-price listings, the high bidder is only returned if there is just one order line item (or only for the first order line item that is created).

This container uses AddressType, and each call that uses BuyerType uses the ShippingAddress container a little differently. See the Call Reference documentation for each call to see what fields of AddressType are used by each call. Output only.

Email address for the user. Please see the links below to the topics related to anonymous user information and static email addresses. You cannot retrieve an email address for any user with whom you do not have an order relationship, regardless of site.

An email address of another user is only returned if you and the other user are in an order relationship, within a certain time of order line item creation (although this limitation isn't applicable to the GetAllBidders call in the case of motor vehicles categories.) Based on Trust and Safety policies, the time is unspecified and can vary by site.

Since a bidder's user info is anonymous, this tag will be returned only to that bidder, and to the seller of an item that the user is bidding on.

For the order retrieval calls, the buyer's registration email address is only returned if the buyer is registered on the DE, AT, or CH sites, regardless of the seller's registration site and the site to which the seller sends the request.Max length:

The aggregate feedback score for a user. A user's feedback score is the net positive feedback minus the net negative feedback left for the user. Feedback scores are a quantitative expression of the desirability of dealing with a user as a buyer or a seller in either side of an order.

Each order line item can result in one feedback entry for a given user (the buyer can leave feedback for the seller, and the seller can leave feedback for the buyer.). That one feedback can be positive, negative, or neutral. The aggregated feedback counts for a particular user represent that user's overall feedback score (referred to as a "feedback rating" on the eBay site).

If the user has chosen to make their feedback private and that user is not the user identified in the request's authentication token, FeedbackScore is not returned and FeedbackPrivate is returned with a value of true.

In GetMyeBayBuying and GetMyeBaySelling, feedback information (FeedbackScore and FeedbackRatingStar) is returned in BidList.ItemArray.Item.Seller. For GetMyeBayBuying, the feedback score of each seller with an item having received a bid from the buyer is returned. For GetMyeBaySelling, the feedback score of the seller is returned.

GetMyeBayBuying and GetMyeBaySelling also return feedback information (FeedbackScore and FeedbackRatingStar) in BidList.ItemArray.Item.SellingStatus.HighBidder. GetMyeBayBuying returns feedback information on the high bidder of each item the buyer is bidding on. GetMyeBaySelling returns feedback information on the high bidder of each item the seller is selling.

Since a bidder's user info is anonymous, the real feedback score will be returned only to that bidder, and to the seller of an item that the user is bidding on. For all other users, the value -99 is returned.

For GetOrders, GetOrderTransactions, and GetItemTransactions only: If using Trading WSDL Version 1019 or above, this field will only be returned to the buyer or seller, and no longer returned at all to third parties. If using a Trading WSDL older than Version 1019, the accurate Feedback Score for the user is returned to the buyer or seller, but a dummy value of 0 will be returned to all third parties.

If true, identifies a new user who has been a registered eBay user for 30 days or less. This is always false after the user has been registered for more than 30 days. Does not indicate an ID change (see UserIdChanged).

Indicates whether or not the User container has been made anonymous. If true, some elements in the User container have either been removed, or had their values changed to remove identifying characteristics. If false, all expected elements are returned, and no values are changed.

Since a bidder's user info is anonymous, this tag is returned as false only to the bidder, and to the seller of an item that the user is bidding on. For all other users, this tag is returned as true.

Since a bidder's user info is anonymous, this tag contains the actual value of an ID only for that bidder, and for the seller of an item that the user is bidding on. For other users, the actual value is replaced by an anonymous value, according to these rules:

When bidding on items, UserID is replaced with the value "a****b" where a and b are random characters from the UserID. For example, if the UserID = IBidALot, it might be displayed as, "I****A".

Important: In this format, the anonymous bidder ID can change for each auction. For GetMyeBayBuying only, when bidding on items: UserID is replaced with the value "a****b" where a and b are random characters from the UserID.

When bidding on items listed on the the Philippines site: UserID is replaced with the value "Bidder X" where X is a number indicating the order of that user's first bid. For example, if the user was the third bidder, UserID = Bidder 3. Note that in this Philippines site format, the anonymous bidder ID stays the same for a given auction, but is different for different auctions. For example, a bidder who is the third and then the seventh bidder in an auction will be listed for both bids as "Bidder 3". However, if that same bidder is the first bidder on a different auction, the bidder will be listed for that auction as "Bidder 1", not "Bidder 3".

For GetMyeBayBuying only, when bidding on items listed on the UK and AU sites: UserID is replaced with the string "High Bidder".

Applicable to Ad type listings only. Indicates how many leads to potential buyers are associated with this item. Returns 0 (zero) for listings in other formats. You must be the seller of the item to retrieve the lead count.

If a listing ends with a sale (or sales), eBay needs to update the sale details (e.g., total price and buyer/high bidder) and the final value fee. This processing can take several minutes.

If you retrieve a sold item and no details about the buyer/high bidder are returned or no final value fee is available, use this listing status information to determine whether eBay has finished processing the listing.

Applicable values:

Active

(out) The listing is still active or the listing has ended with a sale but eBay has not completed processing the sale details (e.g., total price and high bidder). A multi-item listing is considered active until all items have winning bids or purchases or the listing ends with at least one winning bid or purchase. If the listing has ended with a sale but this Active status is returned, please allow several minutes for eBay to finish processing the listing.

Completed

(out) The listing has closed and eBay has completed processing the sale. All sale information returned from eBay (e.g., total price and high bidder) should be considered accurate and complete. Although the Final Value Fee (FVF) for FixedPriceItem and StoresFixedPrice items is returned by GetSellerTransactions and GetItemTransactions, all other listing types (excluding Buy It Now purchases) require the listing status to be Completed before the Final Value Fee is returned.

Custom

(out) Reserved for internal or future use.

CustomCode

(out) Reserved for internal or future use.

Ended

(out) The listing has ended. If the listing ended with a sale, eBay has completed processing of the sale. All sale information returned from eBay (e.g., total price and high bidder) should be considered accurate and complete. However, the final value fee is not yet available.

Smallest amount the next bid on the item can be. Returns same value as Item.StartPrice (if no bids have yet been placed) or CurrentPrice plus BidIncrement (if at least one bid has been placed). Only applicable to auction listings. Returns null for fixed-price and Ad type listings.

In multi-variation listings, this value matches the lowest-priced variation that is still available for sale.

If a seller has reduced the price of a listed item with the Promotional Price Display feature, this field contains the original price of the discounted item, along with the start-time and end-time of the discount.

The total number of items purchased so far (in the listing's lifetime). Subtract this from Quantity to determine the quantity available.

If the listing has Item Variations, then in GetItem (and related calls) and GetItemTransactions, Item.SellingStatus.QuantitySold contains the sum of all quantities sold across all variations in the listing, and Variation.SellingStatus.QuantitySold contains the number of items sold for that variation.

In GetSellerTransactions, Transaction.Item.SellingStatus.QuantitySold contains the number of items sold in that order line item.

For order line item calls, also see Transaction.QuantityPurchased for the number of items purchased in the order line item. In multi-variation listings, this value matches total quantity sold across all variations.

A SKU (stock keeping unit) is an identifier defined by a seller. It is only intended for the seller's use (not for buyers). Many sellers assign a SKU to an item of a specific type, size, and color. For the seller's convenience, eBay preserves the SKU on the variation, and also on corresponding order line items. This enables you (as a seller) use the SKU to reconcile your eBay inventory with your own inventory system instead of using the variation specifics. It is a good idea to track how many items of each type, size, and color are selling so that you can restock your shelves or update the variation quantity on eBay according to customer demand. (eBay does not use the SKU.)

If specified, all SKU values must be unique within the Variations node. That is, no two variations within the same listing can have the same SKU.

If you set Item.InventoryTrackingMethod to true, the variation SKU values are required and they must be unique across all the seller's active listings.

For GetItem and related calls: Only returned if the seller specified a SKU for the variation.Max length: 80.

The fixed price of all items identified by this variation. For example, a "Blue, Large" variation price could be USD 10.00, and a "Black, Medium" variation price could be USD 5.00.

Each variation requires its own price, and the prices can be different for each variation. This enables sellers to provide discounts on certain variations without affecting the price of others. Required (and always returned) for listings with variations.

You can revise a variation's price at any time (even if it has purchases). When you modify a variation during revise or relist, you need to include both its StartPrice and Quantity.

This container is used to provide one or more product identifiers for a product variation within a multiple-variation, fixed-price listing. If the specified product is matched to a product in the eBay catalog, some of the details on the product variation will be prefilled for the listing, including the product variation name, and item specifics for that variation of the product. The same product identifier type must be used for all product variations within the listing. For instance, if one product variation uses ISBNs, all product variations must use ISBN values.

Note: Currently, the EAN, ISBN, or UPC fields are used to specify a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), and the GetCategoryFeatures call is used to see if particular product identifier types are supported/required. Starting later in 2017 ( dates will be announced as we approach second half of year), the NameValueList container can start being used to specify any and all GTINs, and the GetCategorySpecifics call will be the better option of retrieving the product identifier types that are supported/required. See the Required Product Identifiers Mandate (Current Phase) topic for more information on how product identifiers are currently used/specified in the Trading API, and see the Required Product Identifiers Mandate (Future Phase) topic for more information on how product identifiers will be used/specified in the Trading API beginning later in 2017. Note that the BrandMPN container, and the EAN, ISBN, and UPC fields will still be supported well into 2018.

When you specify VariationProductListingDetails, you must specify at least one GTIN. If you specify more than one of these values, eBay uses the first one that matches a product in eBay's catalog.

For ReviseItem and RelistItem only: When you revise a listing, if it ends within 12 hours, you cannot change the product identifier and you cannot remove existing product variation listing details data.

This field is used if the seller wishes to identify each product variation within a multi-variation listing by an EAN (European Article Number) value. An EAN is a unique 8 or 13-digit identifier that many industries (such as book publishers) use to identify products. Unlike single-variation listings where the EAN is specified in the ProductListingDetails container, eBay will attempt to match this EAN value to a product in the eBay catalog, but the product's item title, item description, item specifics, and stock photos are not automatically picked up for multiple-variation listings. If a secondary category is used, and the primary and secondary categories are both catalog-enabled, this EAN value should correspond to the primary category (not the secondary category).

Note: If the listing is being posted to a category that expects an EAN value, but one doesn't exist for the product, the seller must pass in the text that can be found in the ProductDetails.ProductIdentifierUnavailableText field of the GeteBayDetails response. To get the ProductDetails container to return in the GeteBayDetails response, 'ProductDetails' should be included as a DetailName value in the call request. Note: Currently, the EAN, ISBN, or UPC fields are used to specify a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), and the GetCategoryFeatures call is used to see if particular product identifier types are supported/required. Starting later in 2017 (dates will be announced as we approach second half of year), the NameValueList container can start being used to specify any and all GTINs, and the GetCategorySpecifics call will be the better option of retrieving the product identifier types that are supported/required.

Note that the BrandMPN container, and the EAN, ISBN, and UPC fields will still be supported well into 2018. Max length: 13.

This field is used if the seller wishes to identify each product variation within a multi-variation listing by an ISBN (International Standard Book Number) value. An ISBN is a unique identifer for books. Both 10 and 13-character ISBNs are supported. When specifying a 13-character ISBN, the value must begin with either '978' or '979'. Unlike single-variation listings where the ISBN is specified in the ProductListingDetails container, eBay will attempt to match this ISBN value to a product in the eBay catalog, but the product's item title, item description, item specifics, and stock photos are not automatically picked up for multiple-variation listings. If a secondary category is used, and the primary and secondary categories are both catalog-enabled, this ISBN value should correspond to the primary category (not the secondary category).

Note: If the listing is being posted to a category that expects an ISBN value, but one doesn't exist for the product, the seller must pass in the text that can be found in the ProductDetails.ProductIdentifierUnavailableText field of the GeteBayDetails response. To get the ProductDetails container to return in the GeteBayDetails response, 'ProductDetails' should be included as a DetailName value in the call request. Note: Currently, the EAN, ISBN, or UPC fields are used to specify a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN), and the GetCategoryFeatures call is used to see if particular product identifier types are supported/required.

Note that the BrandMPN container, and the EAN, ISBN, and UPC fields will still be supported well into 2018. Max length: 13.

This field is used if the seller wishes to identify each product variation within a multi-variation listing by a UPC (Universal Product Code) value. A UPC is a commonly used identifer for many different products. Unlike single-variation listings where the UPC is specified in the ProductListingDetails container, eBay will attempt to match this UPC value to a product in the eBay catalog, but the product's item title, item description, item specifics, and stock photos are not automatically picked up for multiple-variation listings. If a secondary category is used, and the primary and secondary categories are both catalog-enabled, this UPC value should correspond to the primary category (not the secondary category).

Note: If the listing is being posted to a category that expects a UPC value, but one doesn't exist for the product, the seller must pass in the text that can be found in the ProductDetails.ProductIdentifierUnavailableText field of the GeteBayDetails response. To get the ProductDetails container to return in the GeteBayDetails response, 'ProductDetails' should be included as a DetailName value in the call request.

Note that the BrandMPN container, and the EAN, ISBN, and UPC fields will still be supported well into 2018. Max length: 12.

A list of name/value pairs that uniquely identify the variation within the listing. All variations must specify the same set of names, and each variation must provide a unique combination of values for those names. For example, if the items vary by color and size, then every variation must specify Color and Size as names, and no two variations can specify the same combination of color and size values.

When you revise a listing that includes variations, you can change names in variation specifics by using ModifyNameList. You can also add, delete, or replace individual variations as needed to match your current inventory. Use the Variation.Delete field to delete a variation that has no sales (order line items). If the variation has sales, then set the Quantity to 0.

For GetSellerEvents To keep the GetSellerEvents response smaller, variation specifics are not returned if the variation has a SKU. If the variation has no SKU, then variation specifics are returned instead. Optionally, you can pass IncludeVariationSpecifics as true in the request to force variation specifics to be returned, even when the SKU is returned.

Depending on the call and context, this value is either a name of an Item/Category/Variation Specific, a Parts Compatibility name, or a product identifier type.

For the AddItem and AddFixedPriceItem families of calls: In the ProductListingDetails.NameValueList (single-variation listing) and VariationProductListingDetails.NameValueList (multiple-variation listing) context, this value is the product identifier type, such as ISBN or UPC. Product identifier types that are supported/required for a specific category can be retrieved using the GetCategorySpecifics call.

For the AddItem and AddFixedPriceItem families of calls: In the Item.ItemSpecifics context, this can be any name that the seller wants to use. However, to help buyers find items more easily, it is a good idea to try to use a recommended name when possible (see GetCategorySpecifics). You can't specify the same name twice within the same listing.

For the AddFixedPriceItem family of calls: In the VariationSpecifics context, this can be any name that the seller wants to use, unless the VariationsEnabled flag is false for the name in the GetCategorySpecifics response. For example, for some categories eBay may recommend that you only use "Brand" as a shared name at the Item level, not in variations.

For the AddFixedPriceItem family of calls: In the Compatibility.NameValueList context, this value is a motor vehicle aspect such as Year, Make, and Model. A Compatibility.NameValueList container is applicable for motor vehicle parts and accessories listings.

For GetCategorySpecifics: This is a recommended (popular) name to use for items in the specified category (e.g., "Brand" might be recommended, not "Manufacturer").

For PlaceOffer: Required if the item being purchased includes Item Variations.

Note: If Brand and MPN (Manufacturer Part Number) are being used to identify product variations in a multiple-variation listing, the Brand must be specified at the item level (ItemSpecifics container) and the MPN for each product variation must be specified at the variation level (VariationSpecifics container). The Brand name must be the same for all variations within a single listing. Max length: 65.

Depending on the call and context, this value is either the value of an Item/Category/Variation Specific, a Parts Compatibility value, or a product identifier.

For the AddItem family of calls: If you specify multiple values for Item Specifics, eBay only stores the first one, unless GetCategorySpecifics indicates that the corresponding name supports multiple values.

For the AddItem and AddFixedPriceItem families of calls: In the ProductListingDetails.NameValueList (single-variation listing) and VariationProductListingDetails.NameValueList (multiple-variation listing) context, this value is the product identifier, such as ISBN or UPC. Product identifier types that are supported/required for a specific category can be retrieved using the GetCategorySpecifics call.

For the AddFixedPriceItem family of calls: If you specify multiple values for Item Specifics or Variation Specifics, eBay only stores the first one, unless GetCategorySpecifics indicates that the corresponding name supports multiple values.

In VariationSpecificSet, you typically specify multiple Value fields for each name. For example, if Name = Size, you would specify all size values that you wan to offer in the listing.

For the Compatibility.NameValueList context, this is the corresponding value of a motor vehicle aspect such as Year, Make, and Model. A Compatibility.NameValueList container is applicable for motor vehicle parts and accessories listings.

For GetCategorySpecifics: The most highly recommended values are returned first. For these calls, Value is only returned when recommended values are available.

For PlaceOffer: Required if the item being purchased includes Item Variations.

If this field is true, the user is currently exempt from the requirement to offer at least one safe payment method (PayPal/PaisaPay or one of the credit cards specified in Item.PaymentMethods) when listing items. This value should only return true for sellers who registered before January 17, 2007. Otherwise, it should return false. This setting overrides both the site and category values for SafePaymentRequired.Default: false.

DetailLevel: ItemReturnDescription, ReturnAll. Also returned if DetailLevel is not provided on input.

The user's eBay PowerSeller tier. Possible values are enumerated in the SellerLevelCodeType code list. SellerInfo.SellerLevel is no longer returned in the GetUser, GetBidderList, GetSellerList, GetItem, and GetItemTransactions responses for the US, DE/AT/CH, and UK/IE sites, for version 629 and later. If you are using a version older than 629, SellerInfo.SellerLevel will still be returned. Developers should note that SellerInfo.SellerLevel could potentially be removed from other sites as well.

Applicable values: See SellerLevel.
Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

DetailLevel: ItemReturnDescription, ReturnAll. Also returned if DetailLevel is not provided on input.

The URL for the seller's eBay Store. This field is only returned if the seller is a store owner. To determine if a seller is a Store owner, check for the User.SellerInfo.StoreOwner and a value of true. The eBay Stores domain that is returned in this field is based on the SITEID header that is passed in the request, and not on the user's registration address, as was the case prior to version 757. So, if the seller's registration county is the UK, but a SITEID value of 71 (France) is passed into the call, the eBay Stores domain that is returned would be stores.ebay.fr.

DetailLevel: ItemReturnDescription, ReturnAll. Also returned if DetailLevel is not provided on input.

This boolean field indicates if the seller is certified as a Top Rated Seller. Only Top Rated Sellers can qualify for Top Rated Plus listings, which receive the Top Rated Plus seal, and will help those listings stand out. Top Rated Plus listings also receive a 20 percent discount on the Final Value Fee.

This field is only returned for the following sites: US (EBAY-US), Motors (EBAY-MOTOR), AT (EBAY-AT), CH (EBAY-CH), DE (EBAY-DE), IE (EBAY-IE), UK (EBAY-GB), and AU (EBAY-AU). The Top Rated Seller and Top Rated Plus listing requirements will differ by site. Below are some links to Help pages that discusss these requirements:

Top Rated Sellers, registered in the US, can qualify for Top Rated Seller programs in other countries as long as they meet the selling requirments in those countries. However, even if US sellers qualify for programs in other countries, they will not receive the Final Value Fee discount on sales in those countries. For more information, see the Qualifying for Top Rated Seller status on other eBay sites help topic.

DetailLevel: ItemReturnDescription, ReturnAll. Also returned if DetailLevel is not provided on input.

See:
Top Rated Seller Resource Center for more information about how to become a Top Rated Seller and qualify for Top Rated Plus on the eBay US site
Seller Help Page for more information about how to qualify as a Top Rated Seller on the eBay US, AT, CH, DE, IE and UK sites

Indicates whether or not the User container has been made anonymous. If true, some elements in the User container have either been removed, or had their values changed to remove identifying characteristics. If false, all expected elements are returned, and no values are changed.

Since a bidder's user info is anonymous, this tag is returned as false only to the bidder, and to the seller of an item that the user is bidding on. For all other users, this tag is returned as true.

Since a bidder's user info is anonymous, this tag contains the actual value of an ID only for that bidder, and for the seller of an item that the user is bidding on. For other users, the actual value is replaced by an anonymous value, according to these rules:

When bidding on items, UserID is replaced with the value "a****b" where a and b are random characters from the UserID. For example, if the UserID = IBidALot, it might be displayed as, "I****A".

Important: In this format, the anonymous bidder ID can change for each auction. For GetMyeBayBuying only, when bidding on items: UserID is replaced with the value "a****b" where a and b are random characters from the UserID.

When bidding on items listed on the the Philippines site: UserID is replaced with the value "Bidder X" where X is a number indicating the order of that user's first bid. For example, if the user was the third bidder, UserID = Bidder 3. Note that in this Philippines site format, the anonymous bidder ID stays the same for a given auction, but is different for different auctions. For example, a bidder who is the third and then the seventh bidder in an auction will be listed for both bids as "Bidder 3". However, if that same bidder is the first bidder on a different auction, the bidder will be listed for that auction as "Bidder 1", not "Bidder 3".

For GetMyeBayBuying only, when bidding on items listed on the UK and AU sites: UserID is replaced with the string "High Bidder".

For PlaceOffer, see also SellingStatus.HighBidder.

DetailLevel: ItemReturnDescription, ReturnAll. Also returned if DetailLevel is not provided on input.

A token representing the application-level acknowledgement code that indicates the response status (e.g., success). The AckCodeType list specifies the possible values for the Ack field.

Applicable values:

CustomCode

(out) Reserved for internal or future use.

Failure

(out) This value indicates that the call request processing failed.

Success

(out) This value indicates that the call request was processed successfully without any issues.

Warning

(out) This value indicates that the call request was successful, but processing was not without any issues. These issues can be checked in the Errors container, that will also be returned when one or more known issues occur with the call request.

This refers to the specific software build that eBay used when processing the request and generating the response. This includes the version number plus additional information. eBay Developer Support may request the build information when helping you resolve technical issues.

Most Trading API calls support a MessageID element in the request and a CorrelationID element in the response. If you pass in a MessageID in a request, the same value will be returned in the CorrelationID field in the response. Pairing these values can help you track and confirm that a response is returned for every request and to match specific responses to specific requests. If you do not pass a MessageID value in the request, CorrelationID is not returned.

Note:GetCategories is designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, the MessageID and CorrelationID fields aren't applicable. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, MessageID and CorrelationID are applicable.

API errors are divided between two classes: system errors and request errors.

Applicable values:

CustomCode

(out) Reserved for internal or future use.

RequestError

(out) An error has occurred either as a result of a problem in the sending application or because the application's end-user has attempted to submit invalid data (or missing data). In these cases, do not retry the request. The problem must be corrected before the request can be made again. If the problem is due to something in the application (such as a missing required field), the application must be changed. If the problem is a result of end-user data, the application must alert the end-user to the problem and provide the means for the end-user to correct the data. Once the problem in the application or data is resolved, resend the request to eBay with the corrected data.

SystemError

(out) Indicates that an error has occurred on the eBay system side, such as a database or server down. An application can retry the request as-is a reasonable number of times (eBay recommends twice). If the error persists, contact Developer Technical Support. Once the problem has been resolved, the request may be resent in its original form.

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

A unique code that identifies the particular error condition that occurred. Your application can use error codes as identifiers in your customized error-handling algorithms. See the "Errors by Number" document.

Indicates whether the error is a severe error (causing the request to fail) or an informational error (a warning) that should be communicated to the user.

Applicable values:

CustomCode

(out) Reserved for internal or future use.

Error

(out) The request that triggered the error was not processed successfully. When a serious application-level error occurs, the error is returned instead of the business data.

If the source of the problem is within the application (such as a missing required element), change the application before you retry the request.

If the problem is due to end-user input data, please alert the end-user to the problem and provide the means for them to correct the data. Once the problem in the application or data is resolved, you can attempt to re-send the request to eBay.

If the source of the problem is on eBay's side, An application can retry the request as-is a reasonable number of times (eBay recommends twice). If the error persists, contact Developer Technical Support. Once the problem has been resolved, the request may be resent in its original form.

(out) The request was processed successfully, but something occurred that may affect your application or the user. For example, eBay may have changed a value the user sent in. In this case, eBay returns a normal, successful response and also returns the warning.

When a warning occurs, the error is returned in addition to the business data. In this case, you do not need to retry the request (as the original request was successful). However, depending on the cause or nature of the warning, you might need to contact either the end user or eBay to effect a long term solution to the problem to prevent it from reoccurring in the future.

Code so that your app gracefully handles any future changes to this list.

Expiration date of the user's authentication token. Only returned within the 7-day period prior to a token's expiration. To ensure that user authentication tokens are secure and to help avoid a user's token being compromised, tokens have a limited life span. A token is only valid for a period of time (set by eBay). After this amount of time has passed, the token expires and must be replaced with a new token.

This value represents the date and time when eBay processed the request. The time zone of this value is GMT and the format is the ISO 8601 date and time format (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.SSSZ). See the Time Values section in the eBay Features Guide for information about this time format and converting to and from the GMT time zone.

Note:GetCategories and other Trading API calls are designed to retrieve very large sets of metadata that change once a day or less often. To improve performance, these calls return cached responses when you request all available data (with no filters). When this occurs, this time value reflects the time the cached response was created. Thus, this value is not necessarily when the request was processed. However, if you specify an input filter to reduce the amount of data returned, the calls retrieve the latest data (not cached). When this occurs, this time value does reflect when the request was processed.

The version of the response payload schema. Indicates the version of the schema that eBay used to process the request. See the Standard Data for All Calls section in the eBay Features Guide for information on using the response version when troubleshooting CustomCode values that appear in the response.

Detail Controls

DetailLevel

The none column indicates the fields that are returned when you do not specify a DetailLevel.

Please avoid using a DetailLevel of ReturnAll with GetSellerList when possible.

Many item details, such as item descriptions and listing enhancements, are unlikely to change. After an initial request for detailed information about items, subsequent requests can omit the DetailLevel field and thus obtain only the information about items that is likely to change. (Alternatively, consider using GetSellerEvents instead of GetSellerList.) If you need to use ReturnAll to retrieve all details for a set of items, please use a smaller EntriesPerPage value to limit the number of items returned per call. Also, use a shorter time range in EndTimeFrom and EndTimeTo for better performance.

Y

The field is always returned.

(Y)

The field is conditionally returned. See the field documentation for clarification of conditions.

GranularityLevel

The none column indicates the fields that are returned when you do not specify a GranularityLevel.

If an eligible seller/merchant enables the In-Store Pickup option, the buyer of the item will have the option of picking up that item at one of the merchant's retail locations at no charge.

This is useful for a seller who is waiting for additional stock of an item. Instead of ending the listing and then recreating it when the inventory arrives, they can use this flag to hide the listing. Then when they have the item available they can update the inventory of the item (through the Item.Quantity or Item.Variations.Variation.Quantity fields in an AddFixedPriceItem call) and the listing would appear again.

7992012-11-07

ShippingDetailsType.InternationalShippingServiceOption (doc change): The description clarifies that a seller can offer up to four domestic shipping services and up to five international shipping services.

Item.ShippingDetails.RateTableDetails (doc change): Documentation for this container and its fields has been revised to be more accurate and easier to understand.

Item.ShippingDetails.RateTableDetails.InternationalRateTable (added): This field specifies which international shipping rate table to apply to a listing. International rate tables can be used only for items listed on the DE or UK site, and the seller must have previously configured a table in My eBay site preferences. Shipping rate tables enable sellers to tailor the flat shipping rates offered for an item to fit the shipping destination.

7832012-07-18

ReturnPolicy.RestockingFeeValueOption (added): This enumeration value indicates the restocking fee charged by the seller for
returned items. In order to charge the buyer a restocking fee when an item is
returned, a US seller must input a restocking fee value as part of the return

the difference being that applications can use RestockingFeeValue to present the
RestockingFeeValueOption value in a more user-friendly format.

7812012-07-04

This option can be specified by sellers on the AU site if the item is being shipped from a
location outside of Australia using standard delivery.

7652012-03-14

their own listings and bidders who know the user IDs of their sellers
